User talk:Monikaalpha

Welcome!

Hello, Monikaalpha, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Monikaalpha, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Monikaalpha

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 User:Monikaalpha, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 deleted 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.

Hi @Drm310 ,

I wanted to make a page for our company. But I am astonished that you have deleted that. Can you please tell me what was the problem? You will find our details here: https://alphanauten.de/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/alphanauten?originalSubdomain=de We are based in Unna, Germany. Please help us to create a page on Wikipedia. Best regards, Monika Monikaalpha (talk) 08:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Monikaalpha: Just to clarify, I nominated the page for deletion, but I did not delete it myself because I am not a Wikipedia administrator. Another user who is an administrator did the actual deletion. There are a few reasons why your page was deleted:

Your content was on your userpage. A userpage is not an encyclopedia article. It is intended to be a page about you, the person who operates this account. It is meant for you to put a small amount of personal information, your interests and goals as a Wikipedia editor, and any relevant disclosures of conflicts of interest and paid editing.
A company isn't entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists; this isn't a business directory. Wikipedia articles are about topics that are deemed to be notable by Wikipedia's definition. This means the subject must have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. In the case of companies and organizations, the notability criteria for companies is what determines whether or not a company is deserving of an article. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself; we need to see that enough third-party sources chose to publish information about the company, without any kind of inducement.
I assume by your statement that you are employed by this company, and therefore you have a mandatory obligation to disclose as a paid editor. Merely being employed by this company is enough for this policy to apply.
As mentioned in the section below, writing about your own company is an inherent conflict of interest. While this is not prohibited outright, it is highly discouraged. You are not an objective judge of your company's notability; you will find it difficult to write from the required neutral point of view; and you would have to ensure the content you write is sourced to third-party sources. Any company-authored sources (company website, social media, press releases, etc.) are by definition self-published, and lack the required independence and editorial oversight needed to establish notability.

Therefore, writing about your company will be a difficult task. If you truly believe that your company has gained enough third-party coverage to meet our notability criteria, then you can still attempt to create an article by doing the following:

Disclose your employment in accordance with Wikipedia's paid editing disclosure policy. The preferred method is by using the {{paid}} template on your userpage.
Follow the guide called "Your first article" to create a draft article which can be submitted for review by uninvolved editors.
Listen to their feedback once the review is complete, and make any necessary changes. Please also be prepared for the possibility that your submission may be declined for lack of notability.

There is also a German language version of Wikipedia that you may choose to work on. Each version of Wikipedia is an independent project; while there is a high degree of similarity, the policies between each version can vary slightly. Good luck to you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Monikaalpha. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:22, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
