Speedy deletion of "Lady Elle Finn"
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
Lady Elle Finn, a page you created, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is obvious advertising or promotional material..
You are welcome to contribute content that complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
Thank you. Donner60 (talk) 21:33, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Conflict of interest
[edit]You stated in the deleted article that you are the CEO of the company whose founder you wrote about. From Wikipedia's point of view, that gives you a WP:Conflict of interest and you should carefully read that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a social-networking site for people to write about themselves and their own concerns. JohnCD (talk) 22:06, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
