Proposed deletion of Shail Kaushal

The article Shail Kaushal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence that WP:GNG is met.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Proposed deletion of Shail Kaushal

Hello, Bondj. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Shail Kaushal, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Deletion discussion about Shail Kaushal

Hello, Bondj,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Shail Kaushal should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shail Kaushal .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Hi Mattlore,

Happy to incorporate any suggestions / recommendation you may have to improve the article.

Doesn't make sense to delete it. Please remove your delete request, and lets fix the article as a community.

Cheers,

Bondj

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Bondj. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Exemplo347 (talk) 23:06, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Exemplo347,

No COI to declare. Being a resident of Mt Roskill, Auckland. I am just really inspired by the young Shail Kaushal, born overseas but grew up in Mt Roskill and is now on the Auckland's local government representing my area. He has doorknocked my place number of times. Also the first Indian-born to be ever elected by the people in Auckland, New Zealand, and one of the youngest. My next contributions would be on page Puketapapa Local Board, and local MP Michael Wood.

Thanks,

Bondj

An image you uploaded

Hey Bondj. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you uploaded the image File:Shail official pic.jpg, and in the description said both that you created the photo (own work) and that you are the author. However you also say that the image came from the Facebook page. I know that you are a new editor, but I am worried that we may not have the proper permission to use the image and I'll try and explain why:

• Did you take the photo yourself? You indicated to Exemplo347 above that you have no professional or personal relationship with Shail Kaushal, but if that's true how did you take this photo of him?
• If you did not take the photo, then who did? And have they given permission for the photo to be licensed under the Creative Commons license [1] that is stated on the image description page? If they havn't given clear and explicit permission to upload it under this license we may have a problem.

This needs to be resolved or the image will have to be deleted. If you can answer my questions this will help me work out how best to proceed. We don't want to deleted the image unnecessarily! -- Shudde ^talk 11:30, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Shudde How does the image matter when you are deleting the article. A bit petty concern don't you think?

Please sign your comments with ~~~~ so that it's easier to know who posted a message. If you want to "ping someone" use the template {{ping|username}} -- it's easier. No the two things are not connected. The image is hosted on wikicommons which has completely different inclusion criteria. If the article is deleted (and it may not be just because a discussion has started) doesn't mean that the image will be deleted at all. However if the article isn't deleted, or if it's recreated in the future (because the subject meets the notability criteria) then the image will be useful. But if it's a copyright infringement it will be deleted even if the article is kept. -- Shudde ^talk 12:07, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Shellwood. I noticed that in this edit to Shail Kaushal, you removed all the content without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Shellwood (talk) 11:46, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
