Speedy deletion nomination of Pacific Title & Art Studio edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Pacific Title & Art Studio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. -→Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 22:29, 14 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, PTAS2012. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Pacific Title & Art Studio, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:50, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.  You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

Hijacking edit

You emailed me, "Someone hijacked the original Pacific Title & Art page and and redirected to archives."

Indeed they did. See this thread on the Help Desk. User:Purplewowies removed most of the hijacking, then I removed most of what he had left of it, then you removed the final piece (which Purplewowies has now restored). Maproom (talk) 21:10, 15 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Maproom: I believe I got a similar message (just checked now). To the user: This is a good thing to use user talk pages for as opposed to email (I was on Wikipedia at the time and would have been notified whereas I didn't check my email for a full eight hours). As for the information I added back, I am entirely unclear on what the article is supposed to be about (that is, reading it through, it's confusing as to what the subject is), and your summary when you removed the referenced information was unclear. - Purplewowies (talk) 04:31, 16 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
