Speedy deletion nomination of Curve Fever Pro
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Curve Fever Pro 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 a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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.

Disclosure of employment
[edit]![Information icon](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/25px-Information.svg.png)
Hello Kevin HMG. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Curve Fever Pro, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.
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 receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, 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:Kevin HMG. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Kevin HMG|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hello Drm310, my sincere apologies. I noticed this beforehand, but after hours of editing, I failed to include the information when publishing the article. I added the disclaimer to the article. If you feel it requires further action/edits, don't hesitate to let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevin HMG (talk • contribs)
- I have moved your disclosure notice to your user page, as that is its proper location. I will also add a {{connected contributor (paid)}} notice on the article's talk page.
- Also on talk pages, please indent each level of reply of a conversation thread and sign your posts so that there is a date and timestamp on your comments. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:40, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
