Speedy deletion nomination of UK Climate Change and Migration Coalition

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 UK Climate Change and Migration Coalition requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. --Finngall ^talk 16:07, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for the welcome to Wikipedia. I do also really appreciate the work the editors and Admins do keeping Wikipedia free from junk! I do want to contest the Speedy deletion of this article. It is true that it is an article about an organisation, and that it therefore must be an organization notable enough to warrant an entry in Wikipedia. I do also accept that at the point of deletion there was not sufficient information in article to justify the entry. However, I had not anticipated the speed at which the speedy deletion would take place (the name should have been a give away I guess). I had reviewed the criteria determining notoriety and felt that the organization justified an entry. I had also looked through how such notoriety can be explained in the article. My plan was to return to the article the next day and make edits doing this. My plan was to add reference to a number of publications produced, media coverage and recognition from other institutions. I also planned to make edits further emphasising the fact that it is the only organization of its type. I should have said this in the talk section of the page - but because I'm new I didn't. For these reasons I am requesting that the speedy deletion is revoked and that I have a chance to make the proposed edits that I believe make the entry worthwhile.

Conflict of Interest

Hello, PaperGoldFish. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Last but not least: All contributors must not contribute content that violates conflict of interest laws (just as all contributors must respect copyright). The Unfair Commercial Practices Directive is valid throughout the European Union. In a German court decision in 2012 (that also relied on the directive) regarding Wikipedia: "The court held that when a company edits a Wikipedia article, the resulting text falsely creates the impression that the edit has no business-related purpose. By implication, the judges found that the average reader of Wikipedia articles expects to find objective and neutral information." That is a very very important condition, comparable to the FTC Guide" that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than the sponsoring advertiser”. This expectation by consumers of neutral information on Wikipedia, requires that companies not write "their" WP articles for PR/marketing purposes.

Editors who are compensated for their contributions should make the disclosure by placing the {{connected contributor (paid)}} template at the top of the talk page of affected articles and filling in the parameters. They should also supply this information as part of a list on their user page of all their paid contributions.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:07, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for pointing me to the relevant sections on conflicts / paid contributions. In the talk section I did fully explain my relationship to the organization about which I created a page. In the talk section I explained that I am employed by the charity, and in that capacity I created the page. I acknowledged this fully in my discosure. What I didn't do - and you are absolutely right to point out - was add the appropriate tags in the main page showing my affiliation. I hope you can accept that this was because I'm new to Wikipedia, rather than trying to hide anything. I hope the fact that I was very clear about my interest in the talk section is evidence of this. The article has also been removed under Speedy Deletion. I've added comments separately contesting this. If the article is re-instated, I will of course properly show my affiliation using the right tags in the article. PaperGoldFish (talk) 20:19, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Paid Editing

I noticed that you states that you were paid and you created the article. If you are being paid to create and/or maintain the article, then you must -repeat MUST - read through and act on all points listed at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Otherwise, this account runs the risk of being summarily blocked. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:07, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Userfied

In response to your request on my page I have restored the article in question and "userfied" it - by which I mean that I have moved it to your userspace so that you can work on and improve the article without having to worry about the material being summarily deleted. You can find the restored content at User:PaperGoldFish/UK Climate Change and Migration Coalition. When you are read to to publish the material, I recommend that you go through the articles for creation process to get the material checked prior to moving it back out into the main space. TomStar81 (Talk) 23:08, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for your help with this. I've continued editing the article in Userfied space you created for it. I've improved article in various ways. As you suggested I am going through the articles for creation process. As part of this process I have moved it from my userfied ares to a 'drafts' page. This is what the process recommended (hope that's the right thing). I've also added the relevent tags that explain my relationship to the organization. Thanks again for your help. PaperGoldFish (talk) 18:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

I've fixed the template disclosing your paid editing, so it should put the article in the relevant category for paid editing contributions. As far as the relevant policy for paid editing is concerned, you are fully disclosed and as such should not have issues with this article vis-a-vis being a paid editor. Do note though that if you are paid to create or edit other articles here those will need to be disclosed as well, so take care to track your paid editing contributions. As for the move to the draft space, that is fine - and in fairness the article would have ended up there sooner or later since that is as you noted the preferred process for how an article moves out into the mainspace. The only issue now that I see that you could get in trouble with is the use of copyrighted material, and since you've disclosed your status as paid editor I would recommend reading Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Copyright violations to make sure you're familiar with the policy and how it related to your group and the page you have here just to be safe.
