January 2025

Hello. Your recent edit to List of Romanian artists appears to have added a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Codrin Platon. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:37, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Drm310,

I understand why one might jump to conclusions about a potential conflict of interest, given the similarity of surnames and the fact that we come from the same region. However, I can assure you that there is no relation or connection between myself and Obie Platon. I have been following his career for years, and I am still surprised that there isn’t a single article about him on Wikipedia, unlike others in his field.

Thanks Codrin Platon (talk) 16:17, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying that. You should have a look at WP:BASIC and WP:NARTIST to see what criteria must be satisfied for an article about this individual to be accepted. I noticed that several of your sources are either the artist's own website, or interviews with him where the content comes directly from him. Both are considered primary sources, which cannot establish someone's notability. Significant coverage from reliable, third-party sources is required to establish someone as notable. You should also look at Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people, as the standards are high. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:24, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I totally understand your points, but what about this article on Adrian Ghenie? I can provide additional examples to support my argument. Why some articles can be visible on Wikipedia while others can't? Codrin Platon (talk) 16:30, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What you describe is the "other stuff exists" fallacy. English Wikipedia has over seven million articles; some exist that maybe should not, others should exist but don't yet. Therefore, you can't argue that your article should be allowed based on the presence (or absence) of other, similar articles. Each article must stand on its own merit.

Articles are edited continuously, and their quality may improve or degrade over time. It's impossible for Wikipedia editors, who are all volunteers, to monitor every article and ensure it maintains the proper standards. If you believe that the Adrian Ghenie does not merit inclusion, I'd be willing to check it. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:12, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Obie Platon. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Obie Platon, 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.
