[edit]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:TB Buti, from its old location at User:Mc olteanu/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Jupitus Smart 15:03, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The content you submitted is so promotional and unreferenced that no editing by other editors can save it. Hence nominated for speedy deletion. If any chance of saving, RADICAL changes needed, and even then, begs question of whether there are independent articles written about the company. I removed the duplication of content and the descriptions of watches. The question remains whether the company is famous enough, i.e., written about in reliable sources, to warrant an article.

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:TB Buti, 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.

COI

[edit]

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation 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:Mc olteanu. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mc olteanu|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article

  • you must 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 organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, 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 organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
  • The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
  1. significant coverage in
  2. independent,
  3. multiple,
  4. reliable,
  5. secondary sources.
Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.
  • you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
  • there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. 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.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:32, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jimfbleak - perhaps overkill? The company no longer exists. The author of the draft did own up to owning a Buti watch (at a Help query), but clearly is not paid. Loving watches is not a crime. Lastly, was there a copyright problem, or did you just add all that as more piling on the newbie? David notMD (talk) 12:44, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
David notMD, the user had drafted two versions of this with slightly different titles and had edited nothing else, which is typical of company-written texts. Neither version indicated that the company was defunct, so this appeared to be just another company spammer at work. I'll strike the first comment, the rest is basically what I normally post to editors attempting to write about an organisation, and is just guidance, not an accusation. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:00, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have no quibble with the rest of what was written. Separately, I do not believe that a watch company which was briefly in business about 20 years ago qualifies for a Wikipedia article vis-a-vis notability criteria, even though used TB Buti watches are still being bought and sold by collectors.
