Nelson Broms article

I marked the article for deletion accidentally. I removed the deletion template (and tagged it for notability and sourcing). Apologies, but if there are references available, you should add them -- given the sources currently used, he doesn't meet notability, and many of the article's assertions are unverifiable.

Nomination of Nelson Broms for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Nelson Broms is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nelson Broms until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. SmartSE (talk) 22:47, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Undisclosed paid editing

Hello Rathfulman. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Rathfulman. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Rathfulman|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. SmartSE (talk) 22:49, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, SmartSE. No, I do not have a financial stake in my edits -- I assume you mean to the Nelson Broms article, since you have proposed it for deletion. (I'll reply to that on the deletion page.) I'm curious as to why you suspect that. Rathfulman (talk) 23:01, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
