How to create a page about my company

I just created a new account with you. I already wrote an article about my company, but it says that this article may not conform with Misplaced Pages guidelines. Can you please help me on how to create a page about my company?

There are a few pages you need to read. First, is your company notable in Misplaced Pages's terms (roughly speaking, do multiple independent sources regard your company as worth writing about), see WP:NOTABLE. Second, you must declare a conflict of interest, see WP:COI. Finally you must declare paid editing, see WP:PAID. Failure to follow any one of these may result in the article being deleted with a consequent waste of everyone's time.

One other point: please sign edits on talk pages by adding four tildes (~~~~) to the end. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 07:54, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Yet another point, Alya Kollar. If at some point Misplaced Pages has an article about your company, it will not be your article, you will not control its contents, you will be discouraged from editing it directly (though you will be welcome to suggest edits) and almost 100% of the article should be derived not from you or the company, but from what people who have no connection to the company have chosen to publish about it. Promotion of any kind is forbidden on Misplaced Pages. --ColinFine (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Article contains content like an advert - help please

Hi and I am working on a Wiki page that has a top banner error message -

This article contains content that is written like an advertisement.

Does anybody know a quick fix / how to identify the words / terms that need changing to remove this please?

For convenience: Mastek --valereee (talk) 13:37, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

@Moneyspyder: You removed the template shortly after posting here without waiting for a response. The changes you made do not address the promotional tone found in the article, so I have restored it. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:32, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

As an example, {U|Moneyspyder}}, "delivering enterprise level digital transformation services and solutions" is meaningless marketing gobbledegook. What a Misplaced Pages article should do is say what they actually are or do, not this nonsense. --ColinFine (talk) 15:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Pinging again, because I got the ping wrong: Moneyspyder. --ColinFine (talk) 15:47, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Kunal Jaisingh protected for administrator

Hey, any admin here? there is this article Kunal Jaisingh I was searching for him today to add to check about his marriage is updated or not, but it turned out that he doesn't even have the article, Can any admin unprotect it so that someone else can create He's one notable and passes all the criteria to have an Article, here are some References 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 all these references are about his just marriage if you google him you will get to know who he is. --WikiLover97 (talk) 14:19, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Even according to the second AFD subject is notable it's just that creator didn’t added sources so the result was delete. --WikiLover97 (talk) 14:24, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Have you considered creating Draft:Kunal Jaisingh, write it so it fulfills WP:GNG and then submit it for review? I think that would be allowed, am I correct RHaworth? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:36, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

That's correct; to WikiLover97, if you can address the reasons for deletion, you should use Articles for Creation to create and submit a draft. 331dot (talk) 14:42, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm new I don't have any experience in article creation, I never created I'll soon write my first article once I get sufficient experience in editing! though the draft concept is nice I'll wait for someone to create an article in the draft and then I'll make corrections in the main article. WikiLover97 (talk) 14:52, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

• Oh dear, what a sad response! WikiLover97 we are pointing you to draft space where life is a bit gentler. Dive in with both feet and create draft:Kunal Jaisingh - I deleted it but have not (yet) protected it. I have emailed you one state of the many deleted states of the mainspace article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:33, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank You for the revision history, I have created an article with references, Please Review and Publish it. — WikiLover97 (talk) 16:17, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello there was no option to submit the draft, @RHaworth: @331dot: @Gråbergs Gråa Sång: so please consider this moving to the mainspace if it's within guidelines of Misplaced Pages. — WikiLover97 (talk) 16:23, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

• Submit button now provided. If it gets approved by a non-admin, come back to me and I will move it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:35, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
