January 2019

Hello, I'm Gaelan. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ralph Engelstad seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. (talk to) Gaelan('s contributions) 20:16, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Engelstad Foundation (May 24)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The draft establishes notability, is verifiable, and cites an acceptable range of sources, but cherry picks from them to promote the foundation rather than being a neutral profile. It whitewashes by giving undue weight to positive things while ignoring those that are neutral or negative.

The main source, and several others cited or uncited, discuss its fractious relationships with UNLV and UND, the unusual terms of its gifts, its pulling of donations, and its lobbying to change the law. The draft brushes all of that under the carpet.

Reevaluate the entire awards section. It's hardly surprising that organizations receiving millions of dollars in gifts would give the donor an award. Any award covered only by the awarding organization and the awardee should be removed. Remaining awards that give the appearance of quid-pro-quo should be removed or merged into the discussion of the gift. Awards from third parties, especially awards that are themselves notable, can remain in the article, but consider integrating them into the text. They should not be in bold.

The distinction between the philanthropy and partnerships sections is unclear. Does it partner with organizations it doesn't give money to? In these partnerships is it contributing something other than cash?

Try to find information on finances (not just its donations, but its income and expenses). Try to find more than one sentence about leadership.

While you're fixing the above, improve the context. You wrote that "Engelstad opened the Imperial Palace", but you can't expect readers to know whether that's a restaurant in San Francisco or a theme park in Tokyo. That sentence has been fixed, but watch out for others. Is Engelstad dead? When did he die? You've explained some of the geographic connections, but why does the foundation donate in Mississippi?

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.

Proposed deletion of Nevada Health and Bioscience Corporation

The article Nevada Health and Bioscience Corporation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG or WP:ORGDEPTH. Some coverage about the UNLV building, but that's it.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nevada Health & Bioscience Corporation

Hello Lpete2019,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nevada Health & Bioscience Corporation for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
