Speedy deletion nomination of Sellma Kasumoviq

Hello Etrithaxhiu,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sellma Kasumoviq for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

undisclosed paid editing

Hello Etrithaxhiu. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, 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:Etrithaxhiu. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Etrithaxhiu|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. Vexations (talk) 11:14, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response to question by Vexations

Hi Vexations , thank you for your interest in working on this Wikipedia Article and also for your concerns - I do strongly believe in the principles of Wikipedia and that information entered into the encyclopedia should be neutral and informative to the public. I am not receiving any financial compensation for my work on this page, and will not be receiving compensation in the future either. This article is the first of a series of articles I have planned to write on artists from Kosovo. I am a visual designer and videographer here and am planning on creating a short documentary soon on women who are from Kosovo (which is you read more about the country recently declared independence) and who are working and creating services and products that are having an impact in the world. Included in my list is a fashion designer currently based in New York City, a ballet dancer and choreographer, and an art curator. This list will expand as time goes by and I meet more people.

I do appreciate your concerns and am aware of the what this article "looks like". I had edited the previous version of this article which consequently went on for deletion. Since then, I have edited the article considerably and have tried to make it as neutral and non-advertisement like as possible. Regardless, this person is definitely a notable figure in the world and I do believe Sellma should have a Wikipedia article (among other women from Kosovo) which can be argued on the point of her work and recognition.

I am open to any suggestions that you have on editing this, and also for the future articles which I am going to write. I don't think it should be deleted though. I look forward to hearing from you. Etrithaxhiu (talk) 11:38, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Sellma Kasumoviq, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. The page was previously deleted by community consensus because the subject did not appear to be notable. Your recent recreation of the article did not change anything to this concern. Recreating deleted pages without addressing the original issues is against our policies.
