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 Centena Group, 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.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator .

Information icon Hello, Steve9990. 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 Request Wizard), 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. JBW (talk) 00:07, 10 November 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Thank you @JBW for the guide.
- (I didn't see the notification for this message initially, so I left a message on your talk page, sorry about that.)
- This is the first article I'm writing and I'm not sure how to write go about it. I'm not being paid to write this article, but I'm an employee of Centena Group. I'm not sure how to declare that (I found the wikipedia guides for COI, but it talks about PR agencies and all), please let me know which tags to use for that. I'm learning to write Wikipedia articles and I figured it will be a very fairly easy and non-controversial subject and at the same time useful for Wikipedia - Centena is a large company with many verticals and a lot of employees all over the world - so I think it would be a useful addition to wikipedia and people would find it useful. I will of course stick to the guidelines, and I don't intend to make this a promo things. Steve9990 (talk) 06:46, 10 November 2025 (UTC) Reply

Here's a kitten for working on your first article

- Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch
- Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects
- Essay-like writing
- Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references
- Close paraphrasing
- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Steve9990/Centena Group and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
- If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk , on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
Hello Steve9990. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Centena Group, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, 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 employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged 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:Steve9990. The template {{Paid }} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Steve9990|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:36, 1 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Hi, no I'm not getting any payment for the article, this is literally my first article, and I'm trying to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia. If the article looks promotional or something I'd be happy to make the changes. Help me out please, I've been working on this for a while Steve9990 (talk) 11:20, 1 December 2025 (UTC) Reply

- Hi, is there any specific parts of the page that looks advertisement-like? This is the first article I'm writing and I'm not well-versed with the neutral tone standards of Wikipedia. I referred other articles about companies to get an idea and based this one on that. I'd really appreciated any help here. Steve9990 (talk) 05:24, 12 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
