If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Steuart Pittman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.aacounty.org/departments/county-executive/bio/index.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Information icon

Hello Jrpmd1221. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Steuart Pittman, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Jrpmd1221. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jrpmd1221|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:43, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Steuart Pittman

[edit]

Firstly, you were already advised the first time that it is not your prerogative to simply move your own work from draftspace into articlespace yourself. Especially as a person with a direct conflict of interest with regard to Steuart Pittman, you must submit your work for an AFC review, and may not simply make your own decisions about whether it's "ready for prime time or not".

Secondly, you were also already advised that politicians who hold office at the local (county, city, etc.) level are not automatically considered notable just because they exist. In order to get into Wikipedia, Steuart Pittman would have to be demonstrated as significantly more notable than the heads of most other county governments in the United States, by virtue of getting much wider coverage than the norm. The fact that you can show a handful of purely local coverage in the local media is not enough to get a county executive in the door, because every county executive in every county can always show a handful of purely local coverage in the local media. So to make Steuart Pittman notable enough for inclusion here, you would need to be able to show that his coverage was nationalizing significantly beyond just Anne Arundel County's local media.

Yes, it's true that some of his predecessors in the same role do have Wikipedia articles — but they don't have articles because they served as county executive in Anne Arundel, they have articles because they served in the state legislature at other times in their political careers. So Steuart Pittman is not automatically entitled to have an article just because some of the other people in the list do have articles — the ones who have articles have other notability claims besides Anne Arundel county council, and the ones for whom Anne Arundel county council is the peak of their notability do not have articles at all.

And no, filing an OTRS permission to cover off the copyright issue does not in and of itself exempt him from still having to clear our notability and sourcing standards in the first place, either. Bearcat (talk) 16:56, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Steuart Pittman (June 4)

[edit]
Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Bearcat was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: As was explained to you the first time, county executives are not automatically notable. To make Steuart Pittman notable enough for a Wikipedia article, it is not enough to just show a handful of local media sources which verify that he exists -- you would need to show sources which demonstrate that he is significantly more notable than most other county executives in the United States, such as sources which nationalize significantly beyond just his own local media market. (For example, a county executive in Maryland would have a strong claim of notability if he were so prominent that he was getting media coverage in New York City and Chicago and Los Angeles -- but he does not have a strong claim of notability if his coverage is exclusively Annapolis/Baltimore/Washington.
His predecessor Steve Schuh does not have an article because he was a county executive in Anne Arundel, he has an article because he served in the state legislature from 2007 to 2014 before becoming county executive -- so the fact that he has an article does not mean Steuart Pittman automatically gets one too, because they don't have equivalent notability claims.
