Speedy deletion nomination of Lenlen oreta[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 Lenlen oreta, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising. SwisterTwister talk 03:46, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Darktongue. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Antolin Oreta, 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. Drm310 (talk) 03:05, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Antolin Oreta[edit]

Wikipedia cannot accept copyright text without a formal copyright release from the actual copyright holder. Assertion of permission is not enough.

However, this material would in any case not be acceptable. It is far too promotional in tone, full of "peacock terms" and PR-speak: "rare breed of public servant... a staunch advocate of education, sports and entrepreneurship, a dedicated civic leader... an accomplished politician, with an unblemished track record of honest and dedicated public service... strong passion for change and good governance... " etc. That's not an encyclopedia article, it's an election manifesto. It's your job to write that sort of stuff, and it's fine for your website, and I can understand that it is "approved by the person (Antolin A. Oreta) to be posted throughout the internet", but Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. Anything like that is deleted from Wikipedia at sight.

I apologise that we do not make clear to new users that Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform for them to post copies of their promotional material - see User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for some background.

As you are from the Public Information office of the City Government of Malabon, you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and should read that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You will see that you should not edit directly about the city's affairs, but may submit a draft for review by uninvolved users, and that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4) to disclose your interest in any edits about the city's affairs.

Wikipedia has an inclusion criterion called Wikipedia:Notability which has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought him significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Wikipedia:Notability (summary). Independent references are needed for two reasons: to show that the subject is of enough general interest for an article, and to provide material for an article which is more than just the story the subject wishes to tell the world.

If you want to try again, read WP:Your first article, collect independent references about the mayor (not based on press releases), and base your article on those. Use Wikipedia:Articles for creation to guide you through the process. Take care to avoid anything that sounds like promotion. Put out of your mind any idea that you are writing for your boss, because that is the quickest way to speedy deletion as an advertisement. You should be writing for Wikipedia about him from outside - a neutral description, plain facts cited to reliable sources. Write what a general encyclopedia reader might want to know, not what the mayor wants to tell them.

When the draft is ready, choose the option to send it for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback. JohnCD (talk) 09:56, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
