Speedy deletion nomination of DR USMAN ZAFAR

Hello Mehwish haroon,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged DR USMAN ZAFAR for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Nicky mathew (talk) 13:01, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to him, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what he claims or interviewing him. You gave no references of any kind.
• it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.

• You seem to have posted a CV or job application. Unfortunately, this is an encyclopaedia not a job application site or social media
• Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: accomplished... extensive experience... successful track record... transforming and leading result oriented professional organization, leading complex programs & business change initiatives with full P&L responsibility.— and that's just the first sentence. The whole "article" is shameless spam.

• the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.

If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that he is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

If you work for him or are otherwise compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote his interests, that is paid advocacy. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Mehwish haroon. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mehwish haroon|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}.

Drafts and sandboxes are given a degree a degree of protection especially with regard to referencing and notability, but they are still subject to our rules, especially with regard to copyright violations and spamming. Normally deleted texts are restored to a user sandbox on request, but this was already in a sandbox, and such a blatant abuse of our policies that it was deleted even from there. If you wish to write a proper article, you are free to do so, but you will have to start from scratch because I'm not going to restore such an awful page Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:07, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
