Hello Everett Millais,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Boulder Group (real estate firm) for deletion, because the article doesn’t clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn’t be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don’t remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello, Everett Millais, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as The Boulder Group (real estate firm), may not conform to some of Wikipedia’s content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Boulder Group 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/The Boulder Group 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 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 until the discussion has finished.

Hello, Everett Millais

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The Boulder Group for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn’t be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don’t remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello Everett Millais. The nature of your edits 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:Everett Millais. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Everett Millais|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. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 12:25, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ChildrenWillListen What kind of edits do you think I’m making that would suggest I’m hired? I’m contributing to Wikipedia and only making minor edits that follow Wikipedia’s standards. I haven’t been hired by anyone. I’m simply working on the Cera Care page because someone else has been editing and vandalizing it. Thank you!

You made a few gnoming edits using the Newcomer Task tool, then you immediately went on to create a promotional article on “The Boulder Group”. It was deleted under WP:A7, and then you created it again, which that time it was nominated for deletion. The deletion discussion is filled with several single-purpose IP addresses all geolocating to the same place in Illinois, and many of them used LLMs to draft their keep !votes. After a few weeks, you created it a third time under a different title, which was rightfully deleted under WP:G4. These are all valid reasons to suspect undisclosed paid editing.

Please stop any further edits, until you are cleared to do so.
