Speedy deletion nomination of Foreign Policy Initiative BH

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 Foreign Policy Initiative BH, 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. _Fortuna ^{Imperatrix Mundi} 11:45, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, AmelaHrasnica. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Foreign Policy Initiative BH, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 01:19, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Your only source was your organisation, not an independent source
it's all about what the organisation does, little about the organisation itself, not even its location. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of members, employees, funding, and coverage in genuinely third-party sources.
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: mission is to serve... it is committed to enhancing and influencing... currently implementing several projects throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina... rich professional career
the article was a copyright violation of this. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. Translations of copyright text are also a breach of copyright. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. The copied text was labelled © 2007 - 2016 Vanjskopolitička inicijativa BiH. Sva prava pridržana, obviously not PD. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
You have an obvious conflict of interest when editing this article, and you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting this topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization, directly or indirectly, to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:AmelaHrasnica. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AmelaHrasnica|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

I would like to know if there is a possibility to delete this entry entirely — I'm not sure what you mean. Foreign Policy Initiative BH and Vanjskopolitička incijativa BH are already deleted and can only be viewed by admins. Your message on my talk page will be removed in due course, typically after about seven days, but can be accessed from history.
