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 Draft:Trinity Institute Of Professional Studies(TIPS), 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. Melcous (talk) 07:30, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Tips27. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Melcous (talk) 07:30, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Reply[edit]
Hi and thanks for your message on my talk page. Your message says "we" a number of times, which suggests that you may be in breach of wikipedia's policy which is that accounts should be used only by individual editors, not by a group or organisation. You say that you have no clarity as to why your draft was deleted, but if you read the articles linked to above you should clearly see its was deleted because it was promotional. Wikipedia does not exist to tell the world about your cause, no matter who noble it is. See here. You should also read the articles on SPAM and this page on questions frequently asked by organisations. You also have a clear conflict of interest which means that you can request someone else create an article (they would have to be convinced your organisation is notable and that they are reliable sources to do so) but you should not be editing an article about your organisation yourself. Please take some time to read the articles I have here linked to. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 04:32, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
