Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Hollywoodbakken, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Radioman (Podcast Series), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

A tag has been placed on Radioman (Podcast Series), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

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.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm totally new to Wikipedia (in the sense of contributions) and I just wanted to get the page up and running. This is for a podcast series that the company I work for produced for Audible. It's a legitimate series but perhaps the reviews led users to believe that I was using Wikipedia as a promotional platform. Wasn't sure of the rules, and I tried to remove the questionable wording, but have been blocked by Jezebel's Ponyo (see below.) Anyway, I'm going to contest... Just want to get the article published the right way and a little help would be appreciated vs. shutting it down outright. Hollywoodbakken (talk) 17:49, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not here to publish information about your works as a stepping stool to get the word out there. I suggest you read WP:COI and WP:NOT. PRAXIDICAE💕 17:52, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I read both links. However, this isn't about "getting the word out" -- it's about documenting the existence of the podcast. Is that not acceptable? Is this (COI) violation only because I work for the production company? If some random person were to discover the podcast series and create an unbiased article and post to Wikipedia, is that then acceptable? Just trying to understand the policies here. Thanks for your help. Hollywoodbakken (talk) 17:58, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
wikipedia doesn't exist to document everything in existence. It's an encyclopedia for notable subjects. PRAXIDICAE💕 17:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
