Proposed deletion of Elbrus Together[edit]

The article Elbrus Together has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 14:05, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Patar night. Thanks for taking the time to help me improve my Wikipedia skills. I understand that you nominated the Elbrus Together article for deletion. I respect your opinion, so I did further work to improve the article. I explained what I did and how the article now satisfies the 5 points of General notability guideline as a comment in the article source code. The explanation took a little longer than I thought, but I just wanted to make sure everything was discussed. It would be nice if you had some time to take a look, but obviously you don't have to. I saw on your user page that you're an experienced editor so I would appreciate your advice on how to make Wikipedia articles better. Thanks again and have a great day!

Nomination of Elbrus Together for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Elbrus Together 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/Elbrus Together until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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. Praxidicae (talk) 15:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020[edit]

Hello Tom Mark Alexis. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:Tom Mark Alexis. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Tom Mark Alexis|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, do not edit further until you answer this message. Praxidicae (talk) 13:11, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Praxidicae. I just saw your message on my talk board. I'm not really sure what to say, other than that no one is paying me to edit. If this is about the Elbrus Together article, it won't make much of a difference to me if you delete it. It's completely up to you or other admins what you want to do with it, I just thought I could help. I'm relatively new here, I've been learning how to edit on Wikipedia for a few months, but I only recently started editing. I understand that according to the COI policy, something must have given you an impression that the COI was there. If it helps, the only reason why I even came back to editing the Elbrus Together article is because it was proposed it for deletion and I just couldn't let my work get deleted without at least some sort of an argument from my side. I hope that makes sense. I am willing to learn more and to listen to your and other admins advice on how to edit so that no one puts COIs in my work. I've been improving my neutral point of view and I will continue doing so. Again, I'm really sorry for the confusion. I completely understand that you are just doing your job trying to find people who are using Wikipedia to profit. I'll wait for you to answer before I edit anything else.

Escape (2015 film) moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Escape (2015 film), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Escape (2015 film) (June 29)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Calliopejen1 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Escape (2015 film) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Escape (2015 film), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

July 2020[edit]

Hello, Tom Mark Alexis, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Lara Vichnezka (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. GeneralNotability (talk) 23:37, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Escape (2015 film)[edit]

Hello, Tom Mark Alexis. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Escape".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:41, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
