Welcome!

Hello, Msampson10, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Sedona Sky Academy, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

Request for Deletion

I have the powers that be at Sedona Sky Academy reaching out to me about their wiki article. Ultimately, this article sucks, and they know it. The article is short, jumbled and confusing, with references to companies (CRC Health) and affiliations (Aspen Education, Family Help & Wellness) that don't even exist anymore. There's confusion around acquisitions, the rebranding from Copper Canyon, and the roles of Tammy Behrmann and Darren Prince (which have changed). Most of the References links at the bottom of the article are either broken or go to pages with outdated information (e.g., SSA Business License); and according to wiki's quality scale, it has a Stub rating and is considered as Low-importance on wiki's importance scale. In the end, this whole article needs a total rewrite. I informed them of the fact that articles with a Stub rating have risks of being dropped. And they informed me that this is their desire. So, my question to you is, can this happen? and if so, what process is needed to get this article removed? As for my role with Sedona Sky Academy, I want to disclose that I have been hired to develop and redesign their new website (which is currently under construction and not live to the public). Thank you in advance for your time, consideration and any contributions you may make to this article. Msampson10 (talk) 19:47, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Firstly, if you're being paid for edits here, you should disclose as such on your user page. There are two processes of deleting an article, either via proposed deletion, or articles for deletion, the former is for when the proposal would likely be uncontroversial, this means that anyone can remove or object to the proposal to stop the article from being deleted, the latter is a discussion in which editors will give their opinions on whether are article should be deleted. In your rationale, you should explain why it should be deleted in regards to the notability guidelines WP:NSCHOOL/WP:NORG/WP:GNG (you may also want to look at WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES), and the policy WP:VERIFIABILITY and guideline WP:RELIABLE SOURCES. Also note that fixing the article is preferred to deleting it so you should argue why it cannot be fixed and should instead be deleted. Dylsss^{(talk contribs)} 20:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
