Hello, Mel tilly, 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:Nancy Lyons, 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.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! GPL93 (talk) 14:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Nancy Lyons

edit
 

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:Nancy Lyons, 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.

I would appreciate help in getting my article published. Also, I had the copyright information for the photo that I submitted but it disappeared before I was able to enter that information. I submitted a question to the new writers area and hopefully I will receive some help there. I paid a consultant $1200 to help me publish 3 wikipedia pages and was left without the pages and without my money. At the time, I didn't realize that these types of businesses are scams. I just want to publish a page on Nancy Lyons. If pages for her two companies, Clockwork and Tempo, are too promotional, that's fine. But Nancy is a notable person and a valuable leader and I'd like to be able to document her information in wikipedia. Melanie Shirley (talk) 14:39, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
If you still have the emails from the scammers, please see WP:PAID for how you can report these to Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 15:00, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
