Proposed deletion of Poetry anarchists

edit
 

The article Poetry anarchists has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unreferenced essay; original research

While all 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

  Hello Poetryanarchists. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • 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. Acroterion (talk) 02:24, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia isn't a free host for promotion. All material must be verifiable and covered in reliable third-party sources. All subjects are subject to the notability guidelines: see WP:NOTE. Acroterion (talk) 02:49, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Poetry Anarchists Troubles

edit

Hello. I saw your post on the Poetry Anarchist talk page. Yes, you got it exactly, you need to provide reliable sources from outside of Wikipedia. Here are a few links for you to look over:

  • Writing your first article: WP:YFA
  • Citations: WP:CITE
  • Sources: WP:SOURCE
  • General Notability Guideline: WP:GNG
  • Wikipedia:Teahouse, which is a place for new editors to find help from more experienced ones.
  • Since your user name is the same as the article you were trying to create, you should also read WP:COI. Conflicts of interest are common, but they have special problems attached.

It's a lot to take in, and it can seem confusing and bureaucratic, to be sure. If you have any more questions, leave a comment on my talk page, and I will try my best, or you can just put {{helpme}} on this page and someone will be around to help you. Thank you for contributing. No, really, thank you! Grayfell (talk) 03:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

More specifically, for a subject to be considered notable it must have been covered in a somewhat substantial way by major third-party media, since Wikipedia is a secondary source and requires that material be verifiable by reference to sources that have already noticed the subject and documented it, giving a threshold of notability. This would normally require newspaper articles, preferably on a national or near-national scale (local coverage doesn't usually satisfy notability). If The Age or the Sydney Morning Herald have articles, that would go a long way. Since this is apparently an organization that has become active in the last week, it would be hard for it to establish notability, and it appears to me that you're trying to use Wikipedia as a means of promotion. It's the other way around, Wikipedia notes significant subjects that have been documented in other media. Also, you appear to have a conflict of interest, which makes it difficult for you to have an appropriate editorial distance between yourself and the subject.

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.
 
Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
