Proposed deletion of Jake Braun

The article Jake Braun has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Thanks for creating Jake Braun.

Thank you for your new article on Jake Braun. Note that the article is currently an "Orphan", meaning that no other Wikipedia articles link TO it. This makes the article tough to find for interested readers. See WP:DE-ORPHAN for pointers.

Conflict of interest, autobiography, plagiarism and copyright issues

I am presenting these likely issues on your talk page so that you can fix the issues. I will add tags to the articles referencing your talk page so that editors can track the issues.

Conflict of interest and autobiography

You have contributed to Christopher Burnham, Francis X. Taylor and Election security. You have created Jake Braun. The three articles that are Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons connect to a business named Cambridge Global and some of your contributions are about Cambridge Global. The election security contributions link to a PDF by Jake Braun. You have uploaded 2 images of Jake Braun ([1], [2]) and you assert that the photos are your own work. You have contributed to Jake Braun right after a testimony for the Congress and a report about election security.

Based on the body of evidence, you strongly appear to be Wikipedia:Conflict of interest editing Christopher Burnham, Francis X. Taylor, and Election security. You also strongly appear to be Jake Braun and creating a Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Plagiarism

Some of your contributions strongly appear to be Wikipedia:Plagiarism. Some examples:

• You made a contribution that strongly appears to be copy and pasted from a press release.
• You made contributions that strongly appear to be copy and pasted from the Cambridge Global website.
• You made contributions that strongly appear to be copy and pasted from Jake Braun's LinkedIn webpage.

Copyright

You have uploaded a CSPAN TV screenshot without a rationale. See Template:Non-free_television_screenshot and Template:Non-free_use_rationale.
