Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Deaf Talent Media & Entertainment Consulting

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:Deaf Talent Media & Entertainment Consulting, 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.

Request reason:

The reason to request being unblocked is because the information initially submitted was to correct misleading/unfactual information currently housed on the DeafTalent Wiki page (DeafTalent) about the origins of the #DeafTalent hashtag and "Deaf Talent" phrase. The current version of the Wikipedia article indirectly credits filmmaker Jules Dameron when in actuality, filmmaker Jady Bryan first initiated use of the hashtag. Ms. Bryan has successfully trademarked the #DeafTalent hashtag via the United States Patent and Trademark Office due to credible evidence that the hashtag was first coined by her in 2011. The current version also omitted the main reason for the creation of the hashtag: to highlight Black and Indigenous People of Color who are Deaf that are in the entertainment and other related fields. As with other proven cultural misappropriations, #DeafTalent was used primarily to spotlight Caucasian Deaf Creatives, which was not the original purpose of the hashtag. This article is not meant for self-promotion, but to increase awareness regarding the true history of how #DeafTalent came to be.

Decline reason:

Wikipedia has articles, not "wiki pages". "Increase awareness" is a form of promotion, you don't have to be soliciting or selling something. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves and where mere existence merits inclusion; this is an encyclopedia with criteria to meet for inclusion. An article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. I wish you well with the mission of your organization, but you cannot use Wikipedia to tell the world about it. If there are other topics for which you have no conflict of interest that you want to write about, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:48, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

In response to Bbb23's question

Yes, there are other future topics I would like to post, about a few Black Deaf teachers from 1880s. Deafricentricity (talk) 17:27, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
