Speedy deletion nomination of Leo KoGuan

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 Leo KoGuan, 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, product, group, service or person 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 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.

Hi, thanks for message. Not a reason for deletion, but please don't make up infoboxes, use Template:Infobox academic or whatever is appropriate. I deleted your article because

Contrary to what your colleague thinks, the article was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. In this case, the text is restricted to non-commercial use, so not PD. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to him, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the he claims. Much of your text is unsourced or sourced only to affiliated sources such as his foundation, not to independent third-party sources
you gave some references, but they were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims and opinions presented as fact include: Professor...Being curious about... his lifelong pursuit... a faithful adherent... dedicates his life... a sound social environment... everyone is free to seek, explore and actualize their dreams and potentials.— and so on. It's a hagiography, just opinions comments and mindreading, no actual verifiable facts. Also, if his name is written the US way, rather than the Chinese, "Leo" is too informal, use surnames
there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to his organisations.

I can't restore the pages because of the copyright violations, but in any case it probably would benefit from a clean start as a draft. If you have any questions or need help, ask on my talk page. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:37, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for further info. I had been relying on the edit summary by Gigigittt —According to Leo KoGuan Foundation official website, logos and poems belong to the public. They are free to be in common use but not for profits, so that there is no copyright violation —which is obviously not PD because of the not-for profit restriction. However, your link seems unambiguous as to PD status, so you can use those images. Make sure you provide that link when you upload to Commons. I'd also suggest slightly amending the file names so they are not identical to those deleted, eg perhaps Qbit-multiverse2.png or Qbit-multiversePD.png instead of Qbit-multiverse.png

You will, of course, still need to address the other issues I raised. You will need to put your references in the the text following the fact each supports using <ref>[url description]</ref>. Then {{reflist}} at the end will automatically generate a numbered list. Good luck Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:41, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Leo KoGuan (March 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gbawden was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Kgctr/Leo KoGuan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your draft article, User:Kgctr/Leo KoGuan

Hello, Kgctr. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Leo KoGuan".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Linguist^un Eins ^uno 03:33, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
