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 Stefan Feller requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.un.org/press/en/2013/sga1400.doc.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 removed 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. /wiae /tlk 18:33, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Hub12345. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
I am not related to the person and all the sources are backed up. Can you give one good reason for why the post is not accurate or why it is not of public interest? I do not understand where your allegations are coming from.
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.Deb (talk) 14:13, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- This is not about "allegations". I want to make sure you understand that, if you work for the UN, you should not be writing articles about that organisation, whether or not you happen to be related to the person who is the subject of the article.Deb (talk) 22:00, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
- This is about "allegations". Apologies, but where did I indicate that I work for the UN? Should academics also not write about their research areas? I still am missing if you have any problem with the content of the article? If so, please let's address them, including if the article is not relevant for listing on wikipedia. I have tried to make information accessible that is important for the public and added the factual references.
- The fact that you initially used text copied from a UN official press release when you created Stefan Feller is suggestive of a connection. If there isn't any connection, carry on, but please understand that wording from press releases is often unsuitable for the encyclopedia (e.g. "Mr Feller has more than 36 years of professional experience" is clearly promotional), and not everyone employed by the UN is notable. I advised you of your responsibilities, just in case. In time, as you start to contribute to articles about a wider range of subjects, your independence will become more apparent.

Well copied and I used the press release as it was public information that I could reference. I thought this was helping the article, rather than undermine it. Thank you for the suggestion(s). It is good to know that I should also edit other topics, I did not think about it from that perspective. Thanks and carry on.
