Deletion discussion about Logan Taggart

Hello Bobsmithian, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Logan Taggart, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Logan Taggart.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Grahaml35}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I respectfully have to disagree. you are citing that the town has a small population, in politics the job is the same regardless of size of city. Also, the main reason for my creation is that he does hold the record for youngest politician in Colorado History, winning his seat at 18 and in high school. That should qualify.

"Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.

Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline."

Thank you for your interest in my article.

Taking in to consideration the input from the other editors I have moved the article back into the draft space so that I can shorten the article and keep researching the subject matter. I appreciate you all working with me as I am new to WIki. I do want to note that I despite the untrue accusations I am not paid to write, I started writing just for the enjoyment of it. Thank you @Grahaml35 Bobsmithian (talk) 06:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest declaration

Hello. Your recent additions to Wikipedia look like they are paid-for articles. Please could you declare conflicts of interest in line with the guidance set out at WP:COI. Thank you. Number 5 7 15:14, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have never been paid or solicited to my articles. I write about things or people I know about but never for sale. I take your accusation seriously and deny it. Thank you for your concern.

I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. They types of articles submitted and the style in which you have done it are typical of paid editing. Paid editing is not banned, but needs to be declared (guidance here) using Template:User COI on your userpage and Template:Connected contributor (paid) on the article talk page. If you do not disclose a conflict of interest, your account is likely to be blocked. Number 5 7 17:25, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That’s to bad for you. I’m not declaring it because I’m not paid. I have never been paid to write and I’ve never been asked to write about any specific topic. I wanted to start writing articles and I wrote about places I know and people I know about. I’m just writing because I enjoy it, and I don’t think knowledge should be corralled and given limits. @Number 57 ~~~~ Bobsmithian (talk) 05:32, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
