Speedy deletion contested: Elliptic (company)

Hello Techlang. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Elliptic (company), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The reason given is not a valid speedy deletion criterion. Thank you. BangJan1999 14:21, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Water Benefit Certificates

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 Water Benefit Certificates, 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. Waqar💬 06:36, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Please 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 or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or 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

• Your text was totally unsourced except for a single link to Gold Standard, clearly not an independent third-party source

• Your topic must meet our notability guidelines.

• Your text told us what it is, but there is absolutely nothing in your text to indicate that there is actually anything happening, not a single fact or figure. For all we learn from your text, WBCs may have had absolutely zero impact outside the Gold Standard page. You talk about projects, no idea if any exist.

• You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.

• like Water Benefit Certificates offer a flexible and scalable solution for addressing global water challenges by incentivizing investments in sustainable water projects. Through certification and trading, they create a market-driven approach to achieving water sustainability goals.

For completeness:

• 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.
• You should use wikilinks like carbon offsetting, wetland

You said The usage of these certificates has an increased interest by the general public and is underreported, hence the need for creating this page; no, we are not a news platform, this is an encyclopaedia, we need properly sourced factual text, not aims and aspirations 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. If you have a conflict of interest, you must disclose the nature of that COI. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please see WP:BITE and WP:NOTVANDALISM regarding your interactions with User:Greentn2 and Wikipedia:Article titles regarding your page-move. DMacks (talk) 13:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you DMacks for your comments and clarifications!  Greentn2 (talk) 15:42, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your help here, I request you to look at the page, and keep a close watch as it is constantly being vandalised and commercial information is being posted on it.

The move was to distinguish between the Concept and the Commercial organisation, please indicate why this has been undone. Techlang (talk) 05:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

There is no page specifically about anything other than the concept, so our article-titles style guide instructs that there should not be that parenthetical note in the page-name. A page-name is not a full description of an article's topic or scope; there is no other page from which it needs to be distinguished. Only if there were a separate page about a certain notable organization and that organization actually had the same exact name as the general topic, then one or both pages' titles would be adjusted to identify what each one is about. It seems like there are a bunch of eyes now on Water positive--the article about the concept. DMacks (talk) 19:35, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Great work, thanks Techlang (talk) 05:05, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
