Speedy deletion nomination of Randolph Stone

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 Randolph Stone, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Nomination of Randolph Stone for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Randolph Stone is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Randolph Stone (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. McGeddon (talk) 13:44, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

You asked for the deletion to be "held" in an edit summary, but this isn't how the process works. If you can show that reliable secondary sources exist, you should simply mention this in the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Randolph Stone (2nd nomination). --McGeddon (talk) 14:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Randolph Stone

You need to show that Stone has "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" for the article to meet WP:BASIC. I'm not seeing any such sources in the current version of the article. --McGeddon (talk) 12:07, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

To help clarify the above, you need to present direct coverage of Randolph Stone in neutral sources, for example published scholarly journals, newspapers, magazines, books (not written by Stone), and similar sources. Kindzmarauli (talk) 15:56, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

You are welcome. I suspect he's a notable enough person, the trick is just in establishing it. Is he an important figure in India? Indian-language sources are also acceptable, provided they satisfy WP:RS. Kindzmarauli (talk) 20:55, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Polaritytherapie I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia. Your edits to date are all about polarity therapy and topics related to that. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Polaritytherapie. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest;; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with people or organizations that administer or promote polarity therapy? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 16:29, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 17:43, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Disclosure

Yes, as my nickname suggests I have some understanding on Polarity and Stone. And no, I don't receive any money whatsoever or other benefits to do this nor does anyone else I know personally for all I know. The deletion of the article on Randolph Stone would be no personal loss to me apart from the time I put in. It seems I have to accept any outcome as Wikipedia's version of objectivity since I've got the ball rolling. This is all very new (I joined Wikipedia only a few days ago) and interesting to me. Polaritytherapie (talk) 19:58, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. That is not really an answer, though. What is your connection to the field or professional organizations, or the people who run the polaritytherapy.org website? You do not have to disclose your name but we do need to understand your external relationships, to have a meaningful discussion. This for example was a beautiful example of disclosure - that person also chose to disclose their name, but they could have just said "I am an executive with Polarity Association Switzerland" and that would have been sufficient. Would you please disclose your external relationships? Thanks. If you have just received the therapy and found it useful or are otherwise just interested in it and have no relationship with the field, please just say so. Jytdog (talk) 20:11, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
