Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Alexis Meshi, MD[edit]

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:Alexis Meshi, MD, 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.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Alexis Meshi, MD (December 17)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by David.moreno72 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

IMDb can't be a reference

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.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Alexismeshi. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joseph Meshi, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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.

License tagging for File:Micro Mate-180.jpeg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Micro Mate-180.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:30, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undisclosed paid advocacy is strictly prohibited. Using this site for advertising or promotion is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, please read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the end of your user talk page. For that request to be considered, you must:

Confirm that you have read and understand the Terms of Use and paid editing disclosure requirements.

Bbb23 The Joseph Meshi article this user edited indicates that Alexis Meshi is Joseph's daughter; maybe this is just COI editing instead of paid editing? 331dot (talk) 07:32, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: The user's COI has never been declared. Even assuming no money changes hands, the user's sole interest is promoting the clock, her father, and her father's partner (Ponsor). The very first edit the user made back in 2014 was to add Meshi and Ponsor to the clock article with bold formatting, patent numbers, and zero sources. Joseph's article has precisely one source and yet is in article form, even though it should be in draft. The user has been asked about this, and her answers are mostly unresponsive and unhelpful. I don't see how she is an asset to the project.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the point of Wikipedia is to provide relevant information to the public-then all of the information I happen to be providing is actually very relevant. In terms of sourcing information-this has been done with the patent information. I thought it would be helpful to have pictures of the actual chess clocks-for chess enthusiasts to see. Also brochures information about the digital chess clocks that were patented, produced and sold in the 1970's. My hope is that people will find this interesting and helpful. Of course I also want to document Joseph Meshi's accomplishments as well. They are relevant to the history of chess. Thank you. I invite anyone that wishes to help me with the proper formatting and sourcing that Wikipedia needs. And I would appreciate being unblocked-this is not paid editing. It's also not a conflict of interest-in providing documents and history about these chess clocks to the general public. Thank you. Alexismeshi (talk) 15:34, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alexismeshi, you are not permitted to make edit requests.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well maybe someone will be a kind soul and help. Thank you. Alexismeshi (talk) 22:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Right, just to be clear, if you do it again, I will revoke your access to this page.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:05, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand-thank you. Alexismeshi (talk) 00:59, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|reason=I understand a bit better about how to create a draft with references and sources and request for the draft to be published. I didn't understand the process before. I also know that I need to state any conflict of interest in the draft as well-which I will. I am Joseph Meshi's daughter. When you feel it is time, could you please unblock me so I can edit the draft and then submit for approval. Thank you. ~~~~}}

Joseph Meshi moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Joseph Meshi. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:00, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
