User talk:JMFranklin

Welcome!

Hello, JMFranklin, 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 Draft:Ryan Beat, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Ryan Beat

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:Ryan Beat, 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. -- Asartea ^Talk ^| ^Contribs 09:04, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.Deb (talk) 12:50, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Normally a new user would begin by practising using Wikipedia by making small edits and thus develop the skills necessary to create an article that won't get deleted. I would recommend you do that. There is plenty of help available at Wikipedia:Teahouse if you hit any snags. I don't restore promotional content, but there are other administrators who may be willing to do so. Make sure you check out Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view first. Deb (talk) 13:29, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So, can you please clarify for me why my article was deleted? Was it because there was mention of sponsors? Are you allowed to mention corporate names when they are a part of a series? For example: Lucas Oil Off Road Racing ([[1]].

For a start, you should not put any external links into the text. You can't use other Wikipedia articles as a reference. Nearly all your sources are actually the same one: "LOORRS Event Results". Several of your paragraphs are unreferenced. Many of your statements sound like personal opinion and are written in non-neutral language, e.g. "At just 28 years old, Beat started his own LOORRS team in 2015 ..." A lot of it is written in a kind of "journalese". Read Wikipedia:Writing better articles if you want to get the tone right. Deb (talk) 13:46, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ryan Beat (July 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Tamingimpala was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ryan Beat and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Ryan Beat, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
