Your submission at Articles for creation: Dean A. Connor (February 2)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The phrase "that helps Clients achieve lifetime financial security and live healthier lives" is marketing buzzspeak. This draft is not written to describe its subject neutrally, but apparently to praise him and his company.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Dean A. Connor and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Dean A. Connor, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hello, Dean.Connor! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Robert McClenon (talk) 18:43, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Disclose any connection[edit]

Hello Dean.Connor. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Draft:Dean A. Connor, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Dean.Connor. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Dean.Connor|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:26, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

Thank you for the quick response- I understand your concerns and appreciate your expertise. I fully agree with your requirements for “transparency and disclosure.” I would really appreciate your guidance on the best way to get this page published, so that it is compliant with Wikipedia terms. I am an intern who works for Sun Life and I am simply trying to add general information about the CEO- Dean Connor that links to Sun Life’s already existing Wikipedia page. Therefore, my goal is to create updated material that connects to our corporate media page.

To clarify, this Wikipedia account was set up by the communications team and I am the only Employee authorized to use it I am more than happy to change my username so that it reflects me, the intern, rather than the user name set up by the communications department “Dean.Connor”

Furthermore, my goal is to create a page similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_I._McKay, the CEO of RBC. His profile is connected to the RBC Wikipedia page and is easily accessible to the public. Sun Life Financial is also a Canadian Financial institution and as stated above, I am just trying to expand on the current Wikipedia page for Sun Life and provide more information to the public.

Thank you for all the help and I appreciate your time. Looking forward to your guidance/expertise on how to get this Wikipedia page published.

Hi there,

I was just checking in to see if you have everything you need for this article. Thank you!

Hi Lee,

Thank you for the quick response, I appreciate your expertise. If I change my username, how will this impact the publishing of this Wikipedia page? Looking forward to hearing back from you. Thank you!

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Dean A. Connor[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:Dean A. Connor, 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.

Username Change?[edit]

Hi, can i verify that this is the same intern who created the drafts and article? If so, it is still wise to change your username. Nosebagbear (talk) 12:23, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, this is the same intern who created the drafts and article! I would like to go ahead and change my username to reflect me - chantel.martins.

How do i go about doing so?

Thank you for all your help.

Hi there,

I haven't hard back regarding the username change. Please let me know!

Thanks

Hi Dean.Connor, see Wikipedia:Changing username, for information on how to do this Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:13, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
