Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Human factors lab, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 99.136.255.134 (talk) 21:22, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Sevensevensevenseven. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you should consider our guidance on Conflicts of interest and take a look at the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- 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.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 06:28, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Human factor lab
[edit]Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I deleted your article because
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines for music.
- It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Beginning sentences with "we" doesn't suggest that you intend to write a neutral article. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: known for their highly visual imagery and sometimes bizarre stage shows... they are armed to the teeth with... pulse pounding drums... aggressive vocals... world famous
- You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your band is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Write a draft, with references, here, and let me know when it's ready if you would like further comments. Look at a couple of article for well known groups first, and use wikilinks, like Nine Inch Nails. Ask if you need help Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:47, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- Jim's explained the situation quite well. Basically, you really need to find substantial coverage of the band in books or academic journals, or in scholarly or governmental websites, in order to demonstrate that (1) we have reliable information about it, and (2) we're fulfilling the policy that Wikipedia isn't the newspaper.

- Coverage / reviews in national media like BBC or Rolling Stone mag will also work. See WP:NMUSIC. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:17, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
