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:Creative Clinic, 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.

Creative Clinic speedy deletion

[edit]

Hello Loksmythe

Sorry if this is the wrong place to comment on this, I wasn't sure how else to send you a message.

On 8th July you reviewed a page for Creative Clinic and proposed it for speedy deletion.

I was wondering whether any of the following citations in support of what was written would help to have this reinstated and show that this is news rather than promotion? There are numerous, respected independent publications talking about Creative Clinic and in particular its work on #ClapForOurCarers. Please see the following references:

https://www.thirdsector.co.uk/third-sector-digital-awards-%E2%80%93-best-online-awareness-campaign-creative-clinic-clapforourcarers/article/1690746

https://www.thirdsectordigitalawards.com/results-2020/

https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/community-agency-behind-clap-for-carers-initiative-wins-award/

There is also a Wikipedia page about Clap For Our Carers and the impact Creative Clinic's work has had at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clap_for_Our_Carers

In particular this: "Why did it win? By 30 June 2020, the social media reach of the #ClapForCarers campaign included more than 413 million views on TikTok; 553,000 impressions on Instagram; and 1.4 million impressions on Twitter. Leading figures in public office supported the campaign, including the Queen, the Prime Minister and the Mayor of London, and the campaign also benefited from celebrity support, from the Beckhams to Daniel Craig. The campaign was hugely successful in raising awareness of, and pride in, the vital roles that frontline NHS and key workers played across the coronavirus pandemic, with the weekly round of applause becoming a focal point of the initial crisis. The BBC, ITV, Channel Four and Sky News / Sky One broadcasted the applause live for nine weeks."

and also this: "What did the judges say? This work hit at the right time and the right place and people were ready for it,” judges said, praising the coordinated effort to promote Annemarie’s initiative. “The response and reach was massive and powerful. the most effective work here. The Clap for Carers has become part of our culture."

I hope this will allay your concerns. If not are you able to help with creation of the entry in such a way as to be acceptable?

Many thanks for your consideration.

Information icon Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Information icon Hello, Adam Selwyn. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 20:51, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Clap for Our Carers. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:50, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Creative Clinic

[edit]

No, I didn't nominate it, I deleted it after someone else nominated it. I notice that you haven't declared any conflict of interest following the warning I sent you previously. Please could you have a look at that? Deb (talk) 19:34, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, looking at your contribution history, the only things you have done so far is try to create an article on Creative Clinic, and add links to Creative Clinic sites. This single-purpose editing suggests that you may have a conflict of interest. If you work for Creative Clinic then you need to make a paid-editing disclosure, as outlined at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Also, if you do work for them, then it is inappropriate for you to be adding links to your company websites, as that is considered link spamming. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:19, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Adam Selwyn, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Adam Selwyn|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:58, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
