Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Goest Ryder a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Goest Ryder Brand. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 15:09, 19 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Christopher Odhiambo, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Lafiosa Enterprise Record Label, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Hi ToBeFree basically I have no conflict of interest on the subject Lafiosa Enterprise, just got hooked up and could not continue with the editing of the article and thus published it. I never did a copy as a draft/on the sandbox. I will be finishing it up tomorrow just because it is now past midnight here please.Christopher Odhiambo (talk) 21:21, 19 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

 

A tag has been placed on Sam Enrico Williams, 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.

Looking at the history of that page, it has been deleted at least 3 times under A7 and G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. The version of the page you just created looks to me to be pretty much identical to the deleted versions, and thus could be deleted on sight.
I would be happy to restore the deleted page and move the whole thing to draft space for you if you can convince me that you understand why it was deleted, and that you intend to fix the problems that lead to deletion. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 15:44, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
I only know of the 2019 deletion to be sure since I just started wikipedia editing like a month now. Through my daily learning researches I met this topic and saw it worth creating an article for it.
I understand the current deletion reason G11 and will rework the article to the required standardsONUnicornChristopher Odhiambo (talk) 15:51, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Please, in your own words, what does G11 mean? What do you think needs to be done to fix it? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 16:00, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
G11 criteria for speedy deletion is based on articles that are exclusively promotional. Articles that fall here are can be notable, but nedds to be re-written in order to be in line with the wikipedia's guideline on non promotional articles.
