Nomination of Detensor Method for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Detensor Method is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Detensor_Method until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Zad68 15:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Detensor Method

Hi there, I moved the article you created to Detensor Method. But unfortunately it appears the article does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements and so I have nominated it for deletion. Please stop adding mentions of it to other articles. Thanks... Zad68 15:24, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What you're talking about? This method helped several million people, but for your opinion does not deserved to be included in Wikipedia? How it could be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.34.98.79 (talk) 15:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is there someone who can help us write this article? WE are really trying to make this right?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicaavazo (talk • contribs)

Take a look at WP:NOTABILITY, here's the rule: You need to provide significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Things like the inventor's website, patent filing and FDA filings don't meet the 'independent of the topic' requirement. Can you find significant coverage of it in a review article in a well-respected medical journal? Zad68 17:55, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest in WIkipedia

Hi Jessica. I work on conflict of interest issues in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing about health and medicine. Based on your username and your edits to date it appears that you work for Avazo, and that you have disclosed that relationship in your username. Thanks for doing that. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Jessicaavazo. 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.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. As I said, it appears that you have signalled your connection to Avazo with your username, but would you please explicitly disclose that you work for them and are editing here as part of your work? After you respond (and you can just reply here on this page, just below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 02:49, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I do work for this company and I was just doing what my boss wanted me to do. Maybe we should just have someone on the outside write us an article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicaavazo (talk • contribs) 16:53, 27 April 2016 (UTC) [reply]

Yes I know this place can be baffling. I am sorry about that. First, I don't know (and I really don't know) if your company or its products meets Wikipedia's WP:NOTABILTY policy. What that boils down to, is that there needs to be "sufficient" say ... four or five.... publications by independent sources (not for example a company's own website) that discuss the subject of the article at depth (not just passing mentions). If there isn't sufficient sourcing then the article cannot exist.

If you want to learn how to write an acceptable article and to make that initial "notabilty" evaluation, I can help you learn. On the other hand, there is a market out there for freelancers and of course you are free to use it. If you choose to do that, if you care at all about ethics, please require the freelancer to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use - the freelancer would have to disclose that they are working for you. Way too many freelancers work here "illegally" without disclosing, and it is a bad thing for the encyclopedia - there are pages here that are really obvious advertisements and those pages harm the reputation of the whole project.

But do let me know if you would like me to teach you some about how to edit and how to create an article. Jytdog (talk) 06:12, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No personal attacks

Hello, I'm Jytdog. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Detensor Method that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 19:56, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
