Speedy deletion nomination of Keeira Lyn Ford

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 Keeira Lyn Ford, 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:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:18, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020

Hello Mmitch929. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:Mmitch929. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mmitch929|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, do not edit further until you answer this message. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:26, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if this is the right way to respond but I AM NOT a paid client or affliate or anything like that. Just helping out a friend, I offered to do so since I've create a wikipedia page before years ago and I'm alil familiar with the process. I am not being paid anything at all

Hi there and thanks for the reply. While you are not being paid, you have a conflict of interest and thus need to follow similar guidelines. Please check out our COI guideline page and go through the WP:AfC process. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 21:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When I say a friend, I meant Social Media friend. I don't have any connect to her personally, We're not family, haven't met in person and again definitely not being paid. Was just trying to help out, other than the COI that you guys say I have. What would be a major issue for you not posting Keeira's wiki? She is a legit actress with legit major network credits. When putting the page together, should I have done anything different? You guys already have her listed on CMT's "Can You Duet's" wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_You_Duet other than the COI guidelines I weren't aware about, what's the issue? Thanks

Just because someone exists doesn't mean there should be an article. For example, the Toronto Marlies have a list of people on their article but many don't have articles. Please review our notability guidelines and display there is significant, in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 22:21, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't notability a matter of opinion? You may not think she is notable but that doesn't mean she isn't. She isn't some towel boy on the Toronto Marlies..she has legit major network TV show credits..speaking lines and all of that can verified on legit sites such as IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes. I understand the COI issue but the notability issue is a matter of opinion. She has legit major network tv show credits.

No, if you clicked on the links I sent you then you’d see Wikipedia has strict guidelines for what counts as notability. As well, you acknowledge your COI yet you try and recreate the article when you’ve been told not to? Following our COI guidelines is a must, not a choice.

A tag has been placed on Keeira lyn ford requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

I have been nothing but respectful to you and you make the snarky comment about the Toronto Marlies..some team from Canada I never heard of..I thought you may have misspoke and meant the Miami Marlins. For some reason I haven't been receiving your responses on time at all. Eff it, you dont think Keeira ain't shit..then cool..you dont have to be disrespectful but Keeira has been on a ton of MAJOR TV PROGRAMS!! And what was posted is FACTUAL AND VERIFIABLE!!!! Ya'll have millions of wiki pages but the cutoff is an actress that have been on MAJOR network TV shows such as "My Wife And Kids, Living Single, Hanging With Mr. Cooper, etc.!!! Ayo Hickory I re-did the post not getting notification of your grievances..at that time I thought maybe it was the wording of the post!![reply]

Well I am sorry you feel this is personal because it isn't. As an administrator on Wikipedia, one of roles is educating newer users on our rules. It wasn't meant to be a snarky comment but an example, seeing as I usually edit hockey articles. Again, it doesn't matter if the information is factual, you cannot write promotional articles to help out a friend. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 04:08, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
