Proposed deletion of Thanekoi

The article Thanekoi has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thane Koi

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 Thane Koi, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 06:57, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Hello ThaneKoi. 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 may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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. AndrewN ^talk 07:18, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

Helping out a COI

Hi Thane. I thought I posted this on your Talk page, but I guess I posted it on a sub-page you had created here.

Hi Thane. A user asked me to drop by and offer help on how to edit Wikipedia with a COI, being that I am a frequent COI contributor. If you're willing to spend a bit of time on it, I can walk you through it step by step and help along the way.

The first step is to gather a list of what Wikipedia calls "reliable sources" like press, books or scholarly works. Reliable sources are places where we can get content for the article that are trusted to be neutral and accurate and are "independent from the subject." In other words, the results of public relations efforts, which seeks to get authoritative sources to talk about the subject. Does this help? Feel free to ask more questions.

Regarding your AfC submission

I wanted to notify you that I tagged your AfC submission because it was a blatant violation from Thane Koi's website. Please note that Wikipedia takes copy violations serious and may result with a block if persistent. At your AfC submission, the references provided no evidence of notability, the article needed additional sources to establish notability. Additionally, despite that the article was large, the two references were short and contained little biographical information thus the article was evidently unreferenced aside from what the official website claimed. Please also note that Wikipedia is not a social networking website or a website to promote yourself, as mentioned, articles must be notable to meet Wikipedia guidelines. Before considering restarting your article, I strongly suggest visiting your welcome links and especially Wikipedia:Writing better articles. If you need additional help, feel free to contact me at my talk page. SwisterTwister talk 06:43, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
