Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Thomsonmed339, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Thomson Medical Group, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.
Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Thomson Medical Group
[edit]
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:Thomson Medical Group, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.thomsonmedical.com/about/thomson-medical-group. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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.

While I have received your email, there is no reason that the matter you raised needs to be discussed off-wiki. If you would like to discuss the matter in question, please either contact me on my talk page, or reply here (I will have the page on watch so I will see your response).

- thanks. We didn't even realise that that is off wiki. As this is the first time we are using wiki, we are unfamiliar and there is too much information and walls of text for us to absorb at this moment. With reference to our earlier email, appreciate your response and advice please. We will also be making edits to the current Thomson Medical Centre page on wiki which has outdated and erroneous information not written by the organisation themselves. Appreciate your time. Thank You. Thomsonmed339 (talk) 15:11, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- No, you will not. Since you have a conflict of interest with this subject, you will make suggestions on the talk page, and use {{request edit}} to request that a non-COI editor review it. If you directly edit the article to reflect your company's viewpoint, you will be blocked from editing altogether. The article will reflect the reliable and independent sources available about the subject, not stuff you produce yourself. We are interested in what sources unaffiliated with your company say about it, not what your company says about itself. An article on Wikipedia is not your company's "official" webpage; that is, well, your company's official webpage on its own site. You do not own it and will not be permitted to dictate what it says. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:17, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- noted. Anyway, it is not a viewpoint that we are putting across. Many of the sources u guys quoted contain errors and inaccuracies or simply outdated. If there a way to request for the deletion of a page then? Thanks Thomsonmed339 (talk) 15:27, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- "u" is not a word; I think you were looking for "you". If you think sources used in the article do not meet the definition for reliability, you may raise that in any edit requests you put forth. If they do, but you believe they have made an error, you will need to contact them regarding publishing corrections. If you just don't like what they had to say, but it is factually accurate, well, tough. I don't suspect the article would be deleted as the subject does seem to be notable, but if you really think it ought to be deleted, you may request that via articles for deletion.

- noted. Thank you. "u" simply means "you". In Asia, we often use short forms of the word. You don't necessarily have to spell them out in full; most of us don't anyway. In any case, thank you for your time. Thomsonmed339 (talk) 15:37, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
