Welcome!

Hello, Baajiki of Egbaland, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Adedamola Taiwo Harold Sodipo, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion of Draft:Adedamola Taiwo Harold Sodipo

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Draft:Adedamola Taiwo Harold Sodipo has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Good morning. I need to understand why my late father's biography has been deleted. He was a notable politician renowned for his philanthropic contributions. I need to be enlightened as to why this action has been taken. Baajiki of Egbaland (talk) 07:03, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Please review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chief Taiwo Adedamola Harold Sodipo. The text of this article was nearly exactly the same as that deleted article, which also raises the question regarding where the text for the article came from? Spencer^T•C 07:10, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Please also review the message below regarding conflict of interest, given your relationship with the subject. Specifically, "avoid editing or creating articles about ... your family". Spencer^T•C 07:16, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

It sounds like you are interested in commemorating your late father. I would suggest posting this to an alternative website instead. Spencer^T•C 07:27, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Baajiki of Egbaland. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 organizations 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 {{request edit}} template);
• 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Spencer^T•C 07:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
