Proposed deletion of The Gambit (Beyond Nexus)
editThe article The Gambit (Beyond Nexus) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No better sourcing found to suggest better satisfying books notability guidelines.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SwisterTwister talk 06:42, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of The Gambit (Beyond Nexus)
editIf 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 The Gambit (Beyond Nexus), 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, product, group, service or person 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
editThis message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. The thread is Hamsuselvam. Thank you. Brianhe (talk) 08:58, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Notability for books and writing about yourself
editHi! I thought I'd come and explain why the page was deleted. Ultimately it was because there was nothing to show where the book would pass WP:NBOOK, which is actually fairly difficult to pass on Wikipedia. Passing this would require that the book have received coverage in independent and reliable sources like newspapers. For example, a good source would be something like this review from Booklist or this one from the New York Times. It's usually pretty difficult for self-published and independent books to receive coverage because they release with little to no fanfare and there's just so many of them that the media cannot cover them all, but the coverage is still required.
I also need to warn you about writing about yourself or something that you're affiliated with on Wikipedia. This is discouraged on here because it's just very easy to make something promotional without meaning to or to maybe see more notability then there might actually be. It's also just too easy to take changes or deletion personally. I'll post more information about this in a moment, but I'd like to recommend that you not re-add anything about your book or yourself to Wikipedia. I think that you meant well in this situation, but this book just doesn't meet guidelines at this point in time. Something else I'd recommend is that maybe look into creating something on Wikia. You can do more there and the guidelines there for content are far more loose than they are on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:52, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, Hamsuselvam. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:52, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
