Speedy deletion of Psychotropic Analgesic Nitrous Oxide

A tag has been placed on Psychotropic Analgesic Nitrous Oxide, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Conflict of Interest?

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.

Your article

To resolve the copyright issue it is not sufficient just to assert that you are the author: to publish in Wikipedia, material must be released under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License which means that you agree that anyone can copy and use it for any purpose. If you want to release the material under the GFDL, you should follow the instructions on the copyright warning above. Note also that you will not own any article you write: others can and will edit it.

However I would also urge you to read Wikipedia's policy on WP:Neutral Point of View and guidelines on Conflict of Interest and Advertising. Promotion of a non-profit organization is still promotion. The general tone of the article: "exceptional agent... Advantages of PAN... unique properties... economic advantages... ideal for treating patients... a unique tool... " reads like promotion - this is what led another editor to tag it for speedy deletion as an advertisement, before I observed the copyright problem.

The FAQ/Organizations contains good advice for people wanting make entries concerning their organizations or products. I suggest that you post on the talk page of Wikiproject Medicine to see whether editors with specialist knowledge are willing to help you make a neutral and acceptable article.

Two more points:

this feels very close to original research. Has this work been published elsewhere? Has it been peer-reviewed by the scientific community and received mention in outlets intended for the general reader. Until it has passed these tests, it cannot be published here.
The title was ugly and misleading: a) how does "psychotropic analgesic nitrous oxide" differ from "nitrous oxide" and b) it was not a general article on that subject. In the unlikely event that the article is accepted a better title would be "nitrous oxide in the investigation of the endorphin system".

For the moment, I suggest you try adding brief mentions of your research in the nitrous oxide and endorphin articles. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One small point: what is the curious character in the middle of 'oxy¬gen' for example? If you are try¬ing to pub¬lish on Wiki¬pedia, the least you can do is to edit your text to Wiki¬pedia standards. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 18:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
