User talk:Virginia200711

Hello, Virginia200711, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited 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, which will be reviewed by other editors. 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style
• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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, visit the Teahouse, 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. Again, welcome!

hanks for the note. There is no conflict of interest here. I do not represent, work for, or edit on behalf of the subject, and I am not being paid or expecting payment for any contribution.

The two articles in question are connected and complementary in subject matter, which may be why they appeared linked, but that connection does not reflect a conflict of interest. The intent was to improve coverage of related topics using a neutral tone and better sourcing.

This is an individual account, not a shared or organizational account. If there are specific concerns about sourcing, weight, or wording, I am happy to address those through normal editing and discussion, including draft space if that is the best route.

The article Yerevan Saeed has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Should be draftified due to lack of reliable sourcing (all primary or trivial). However, draft was created by user a few minutes before this article was published.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time.

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

The article is being discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yerevan Saeed until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the AfD notice from the article until the discussion is closed.

Hiya,

Just letting you know about the deletion discussion I've started on this article.

All the best Boynamedsue (talk) 18:39, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello,

Would please let me know what is the issue now? I addressed the sourcing issues from credible news articles and others that are acceptable to Wikipedia and meet the standards. This will help me further when I draft/edit future articles. Thanks Virginia200711 (talk) 19:31, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Sure, it's more or less what it says at the deletion page. The sources need to have about 2 paragraphs about Saeed, not interviews with him about other topics.Boynamedsue (talk) 20:40, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

This is more than an interview, for example. And it was used as a source. https://kurdistanchronicle.com/babat/3074 Virginia200711 (talk) 10:30, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

BTW, you are totally allowed to comment at the AfD discussion and say why you feel the article should be kept, and your voice counts exactly the same as mine. The relevant policies around this article would be WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV and WP:RS. Framing your position around them is probably the best plan.Boynamedsue (talk) 20:43, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. I will comment at AfD.

I believe deletion is not the best outcome here. Under WP:RS, there are multiple independent reliable sources available, including WBUR/Here & Now, NPR, CNN, VOA, Newsweek, S&P Global, and Kurdistan Chronicle. These are not affiliated with the subject and are preferable to institutional biographies or self-authored material.

Under WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG, the key issue is not the total absence of independent sourcing, but whether the article uses that sourcing properly. Several of the independent sources provide more than routine name-checks and support a concise, neutrally written biography. At a minimum, the source base supports improvement or draftification rather than deletion. Virginia200711 (talk) 10:33, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, you should probably take this text and add it to the discussion I linked in the title.Boynamedsue (talk) 06:27, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
