The article Martin Newton has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No independent and reliable references about him. Current ref is the standard company profile provided by the company.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

A tag has been placed on Palestine Investment Fund requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. reddogsix (talk) 10:01, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aiden Heavey page update

[edit]

Hi there,

Aiden Heavey is the CEO of the company that I work for (Tullow Oil). He has recently expressed some concerns around his entry on Wikipedia. All of the content relating to Reference 6 (^ a b GNN Liberia (31 January 2013). "Tullow Oil’s projections cause budgetary worries in Africa". GNN Liberia.) is factually incorrect.

We approached the journalist that wrote the article and after hearing our concerns he agreed to either amend or remove the article. Unfortunately he never did so.

I would like to amend the entry and remove all of the content related to Reference 6. However as I work for the company that Aiden is the CEO of I am wary of being accused of censorship.

Could you advise me please as to the best way to go about amending and updating this page so that it is done in an unbiased, factual and transparent maner?

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, LindsayAtTullowOil (talk) 10:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for coming back to me and for the advice. It is very much appreciated. I will follow up on this article now and hopefully get it in a state that is balanced and factual. LindsayAtTullowOil (talk) 08:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quick thing about your recent edit to the Accenture article

[edit]

Hey BarkingNigel, I see that you recently made a small edit to the Accenture article to include the sentence "In July 2013, Accenture announced it was in talks to acquire its rival Booz & Company" in a new "Recent news" section. I'm currently working on behalf of Accenture to make some improvements to their Wikipedia article, and they're a bit concerned with this sentence since they never made such an announcement, and the Reuters source you used doesn't say they did; it only repeats speculative reports from the Wall Street Journal that they're in talks. Because of my financial COI, I never make direct editors to article, so I'm hoping you might either remove the sentence, or change it to more accurately match the source, perhaps: "In July 2013, Reuters reported that Accenture was in talks to acquire its rival Booz and Company." Thanks! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 18:57, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, this is now  Done. Thanks anyway! ChrisPond (Talk · COI) 19:03, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Walmart de México y Centroamérica, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alsea (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
