You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Neil Monaco & K9 Brandy: The Birth of FAA Canine, 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Soapboxlogic. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Military Working Dog Teams National Monument, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. CycloneYoris ^talk! 01:00, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Epluribusunumyall was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Article title covers multiple different subjects, and would need to be broken up to determine notability. Also appears that the article has previously been deleted due to lack of notability, and this article doens't current meet WP:GNG either.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Neil Monaco & K9 Brandy: The Birth of FAA Canine (February 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Qcne were:

This submission has been declined for one or more of the following reasons:

It is primarily designed to threaten, disparage or attack its subject.
It is a biography of a living person that is unreferenced and entirely negative in tone.
It is a page that is purely vandalistic in nature.

This page meets one or more of the general criteria for speedy deletion and may be deleted without notice. Users who continue to create inappropriate pages will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft needs a lot of work to bring it up to Wikipedia standards if it survives the deletion discussion.

1) It is mandatory that biographic articles have properly formatted references with in-line citations. Please see the tutorial at WP:INTREFVE.

2) This will need re-writing throughout to comply with the Wikipedia manual of style, Wikipedia voice, and our neutral point of view policy. It is far too casual in tone right now, like an essay instead of an article in an encyclopedia.

3) The draft text could be slimmed down substantially, removing all the minutiae which has no relevance. Again, we're an encyclopedia not a genealogy blog.

4) There might be something of value to the encyclopedia here, this person and the dog may meet our notability criteria - but you really do need to start the draft from scratch so that reviewers can see if it's notable.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Neil Monaco & K9 Brandy: The Birth of FAA Canine and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Monaco, Brandy &c draft

Hello Soapboxlogic -- I'm sorry your first article has met with such hostility, and thanks for providing a list of sources. I think there is a notable topic here, but, in my opinion, the article would be better focusing on the 1972 incident and its immediate consequences; it should be based wholly on published sources such as newspapers, magazines and books, rather than anything you know personally. The advantage of focusing on the past incident is that the standard of sourcing required for such content is a lot less stringent than for a living person, where every point needs to be sourced inline to a reliable source. If you want to delete the existing draft to start afresh as Voorts suggests, then indicate that here or in the deletion discussion and we can delete the existing draft for you.
