Your submission at Articles for creation: Dean Martin Exclusive Edition Watch (September 19)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Whispering 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 Draft:Dean Martin Exclusive Edition Watch 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Dean Martin Exclusive Edition Watch[edit]

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 Draft:Dean Martin Exclusive Edition Watch 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 toddandmarlon.com/blog/dean-martin-exclusive-edition. 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.

Request reason:

hi - I'm not trying to advertise. I'm only trying to recognize what has been done by the Dean Martin Family to pay homage to the artist. I helped them indeed but this is not for advertising. When I was told that a link to a website was not appropriate I removed and when I was told a copy was too commercial I removed it. I'm only after a small sentence that talks about this homage to the artist - I'm ok with no links, no names though I understand I need to put references to prove is recognized by different sources which I did. I'm ok also in not being able to intervene but would appreciate if someone in Wiki would add this homage in Dean Martin page or a separate page - again no links, no names... no advertising but only the mention that this homage exists. Thanks for your help. T&MxDM (talk) 12:53, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You are trying to advertise. "Todd & Marlon decided to pay homage to the iconic entertainer", "The timepiece evokes some of Mr. Martin’s style cues and passions", "the touch of red on the hands pays homage to his signature pocket square", etc. On top of that, you are blatantly violating WP:COI and WP:PAID. That you continue to ask for advertising to be inserted into Wikipedia shows you just don't understand. This is an encyclopedia, not a business directory. See WP:YELLOWPAGES.

Request reason:

Dear Yamla, the copy you refer to is the copy I removed once I was told it was too commercial - did not realize it was but once flagged I removed immediately. I even received a good note (now not anymore visible) from another wiki contributor for having removed that part. As said, this was in good faith. We don't even need to mention any other company - i would like only to mention that the Dean Martin Family developed a watch as homage to the entertainer. it can be only something like "in 2016 the Dean martin Family paid homage to the iconic artist with an exclusive watch". I'm not after business - I'm after mentioning this homage to the artist - apologize if sounded differently. T&MxDM (talk) 13:22, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

If you can not even see that "in 2016 the Dean martin Family paid homage to the iconic artist with an exclusive watch" is blatant marketing speak and not suitable for an encyclopedia, then you do not belong here.

In addition, you clearly represent the company responsible for this watch - In your deleted draft you wrote "...in 2016 the Dean Martin Family Trust and the boutique watchmaker Todd & Marlon decided to pay homage to the iconic entertainer via introducing an exclusive timepiece..." (and that's the version which you claimed was changed "in order to sound less commercial "!) and you have confirmed that www.ToddAndMarlon.com is your site. Your claim that "I'm not after business" is blatantly false - I have not seen a clearer case of attempting to use Wikipedia for commercial advertising in a long time.

Oh, your username is a violation of Wikipedia's username policy as it clearly represents a commercial entity, so that would need to be changed too. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:20, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
