Personality & Preference Inventory
editThe article Personality & Preference Inventory has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Merope 15:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

re: Yes Please
editAny and all help would be fantastic! I've been asked to create an article on Personality and Preference Inventory and have some information. I didn't think that it was pro advertising as there's no mention of a company etc but apparently it was. There were different types of personality tests that i could see but not this one, hence the wish to add. Having looked again i've found that these articles too do not exist.
Does that mean they also breached the no advertising rule?

- I see that you previously had an article deleted under WP:CSD guidelines. You might want to check out WP:SPAM for reference. I know nothing about the subject matter you wish to create an article on, but certainly can help on guidelines and policies. It may help for you to prepare the article as a first draft and I couild review it. Rather than making a sub page at the momnent, why not prepare it on your user page under a new heading and let me know when you've done it. But do check the spam policies first - specifically the first section on adverts masquerading as articles. Shout when you need me!Pedro | Chat 11:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
1st Draft
editI am looking at it now for you - will comment asap. Pedro | Chat 11:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
PAPI article in draft on Your User Page
editHi Angela. I've reviewed and dug around. I don't think you're going to like this, but I'm going to ask another editor I get on well with (who is also an admin) if he will lend a bit of time to review as well.
1) The text is remarkably similar to that found at website. That would therefore be a copyright violation.
2) I note that you work for that company (as per your deleted e-mail address) and this is therefore a conflict of interest.
3) A Google search on "personality and preference inventory" only gets the cubiks website so this fails WP:NOTE
4. A Google search on "Dr Max Martin Kostick" returns limited hits, which would fail WP:PROF.
I'm really sorry but even though it is well written and does not fail WP:SPAM it really is un-notable in an encyclopedia.
That said I'm going to ask another editor to review as above. Leave it with me. Pedro | Chat 11:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

- I have asked one other editor to review, but I really don't see this is going to happen. Sorry, and thanks for your efforts. Pedro | Chat 11:57, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, got it. It's perfectly understood. :) Actually, i'll be leaving the company this summer (nothing to do with the company). Will remove it from my page when everyone's finished looking at it. Thank you so much for having a good look for me and spending so much time. x

Stubs
editHi there! I see you're a newbie, so welcome. If you want to create a stub article, you can do that yourself (although you should search to see if someone else has already created one on the subject). If you want to propose a new stub template, which is the line at the end of an article saying "This article is a ___stub...", you need to see the guidelines as WP:WPSS. I encourage you to ask question on the WP:WSS/P talk page as well. Cheers! Her Pegship (tis herself) 20:52, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
