Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Fernando Ferrer

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:Fernando Ferrer, 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Pochim. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be clearer: You made the comment, at Talk:Fernando Ferrer, that I worked with a non for profit organization promoting Finland and its talent attraction program. If you have received any compensation for that work (including internship-style stuff; references, experience, any of that), that is paid editing, and you are required to disclose it. Additionally, promotion is not permitted on Wikipedia, so if that's what you intend to do, you'll have to do it elsewhere. Wikipedia articles must be neutral, not promotional.

It is a non profit, I don't receive compensation for it. But I am affiliated to the organization and I am happy to disclose it.

We are a neutral organization highlighting the efforts the government of Helsinki is doing to attract talent. However since wikipedia is not a place to promote businesses/organization/government entities I am not promoting our organization. The intend is to highlight in a biographical style the quality of the talent that is part of the program.

I am happy to remove links or information around the participants, the goal is to have an article like this: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Snooki or like any other TV personality, influential individual in the community, etc. Pochim (talk) 18:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I probably see the issue, specifically The intend is to highlight in a biographical style the quality of the talent.... That's promoting them. It's not just promotion of your organization (though of course please don't do that either); Wikipedia doesn't permit promotion of anyone or anything. As some examples from your draft: known for his significant contributions ("known" by whom, according to what reliable and independent source? And don't editorialize that they were "significant"), marking the beginning of his successful career ("successful", editorializing again; leave out the adjectives), played a pivotal role ("pivotal", seeing the theme here?), Fernando Ferrer's entrepreneurial journey (no flowery language, "career", not "entrepreneurial journey"), and then it goes on to talk up some school he's associated with, the stuff he's done, and a bunch of other stuff. Wikipedia articles are not a CV or a "get to know ya". Rather, they should summarize what reliable and independent sources say about a subject. If the answer is "not very much", the subject is not notable so there should not be an article about it. If there is, just neutrally summarize those sources. If something wasn't significant enough for sources unaffiliated with the subject to substantially talk about, it's probably not significant enough to bear mention in the article either.
