Hello, I'm Passengerpigeon. One or more of your recent page creations, such as Draft:Strategic Wealth Designers, give me the impression that you are receiving payment in return for editing Wikipedia, and/or work for the person or organisation that the page is about. Note that according to the Wikipedia Terms of Use, paid editors must disclose their connections. Before making any more edits, please reply to this message and state whether or not you are being paid, and place the template {{ping|Passengerpigeon}} in your message so that I am alerted. Do not be worried about disclosing your connections; paid editing with disclosure is allowed on Wikipedia as long as you follow all of the relevant policies and guidelines and maintain a neutral point of view. If you have questions, you may contact me on my talk page. Thanks! Passenger pigeon (talk) 04:52, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for looking at my submission so quickly Passengerpigeon, I am not being paid for the post. I do work for the company and I have noticed that many financial services companies are posted in a factual manner on Wikipedia and would like Strategic Wealth Designers to be as well. I tried to create a straight-forward post with general facts about the company. The premise of what the company does. When it was founded, years and locations where new offices started. I also included the charity information from the firm and the media that the firm has worked with. I included references/citations to all the websites where articles or news stories exist. The firm has appeared on television well over 1,000 times so I didn't include every single story but rather links to stories locations

Thank you for your reply, Schooni. Although you may not be paid directly to create pages, working for the company is still considered a COI relationship, which you must disclose if you decide to write about them again. Thank you, Passenger pigeon (talk) 13:03, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Strategic Wealth Designers[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:Strategic Wealth Designers, 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.

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Schooni, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing. You must make a formal declaration on your user page, using {{paid|user=|employer=|additional=}}
