Speedy deletion nomination of Nicosia Mall[edit]

Hello John Malef,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nicosia Mall 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. Thanks!

I dont understand what flags as promotional?? The only thing closest to it are the bus connections which for you to use them you would be supporting the transport company as well, how else would you use the transport option? John Malef (talk) 12:06, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article described the Mall in promotional/advertising-style language - "ideal location for all your shopping needs" - not in a neutral tone, and had just one citation, the Mall's own website (not a reliable source). Paul W (talk) 12:16, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

well thanks for throwing an hour down the drain! couldve just gotten rid of the sentence but you had to make my time harder, oh well guess i should make sure to not include controversial sentences 😨 John Malef (talk) 12:20, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

also where was “all your shopping needs” stated at? unless you just assumed that was the point of saying “ideal location” John Malef (talk) 12:24, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As article has since been deleted, I am relying on memory (sorry). "Ideal" is a value judgement; there was also an uncited reference to shopping for Hair and Beauty and other needs, etc. Wikipedia articles need to be written in an encyclopedic and neutral tone, with reliable independent sources for all significant statements. Please also note your effort may not be "down the drain" as you can request undeletion (see WP:REFUND) and then work on the article in draftspace to the point that it is fit for mainspace. Best wishes. Paul W (talk) 12:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022[edit]

Hello, John Malef. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page Nicosia Mall has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources. This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

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:John Malef, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=John Malef|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:05, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Suggest you find another topic to edit, or you risk being blocked. Star Mississippi 14:49, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. Having looked closely at your recent editing behaviour, it appears you are intent on promoting shopping malls in Cyprus - potentially because you have a conflict of interest Paul W (talk) 17:30, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FYI for @Cabayi who renamed. I'm a half step from a spamblock. Star Mississippi 18:06, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the notification, Star Mississippi. It was an AGF rename of an un-blocked user who ought not to be deadnamed. If you feel the renaming is deceptive or against policy (the third bullet point, "The user is not seeking the rename to conceal or obfuscate bad conduct" being the obvious possibility) let me know and I'll look into reverting the rename. There's nothing in the rename to prevent or hinder an SPI on their admission. Cabayi (talk) 08:25, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the context on the why @Cabayi. I have absolutely no issue with not dead naming anyone and hadn't noticed the account was created in May 2021. I have a feeling the admission and conduct will likely be the blocking factors, but will ping you if we need the name re-handled. Have a great day.

Nicosia Mall moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Nicosia Mall, is not suitable as written to remain published due to its apparent promotional tone. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Paul W (talk) 14:14, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:John Malef. Forgive the auto-generated blurb above. After you REFUNDed the Mall article to mainspace, it was again nominated for deletion, but I stopped the process and "draft-ified" the article so that you can now develop it at Draft:Nicosia Mall and get it reviewed before publication to mainspace. I also started some edits that I hope show how Wikipedia might cover the Mall in a non-promotional way. I hope this helps. Best wishes. Paul W (talk) 15:33, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
