Speedy deletion nomination of Sandhills Pacific

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 Sandhills Pacific requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. It's a Fox! (What did I break) 16:33, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of MarketBook

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 MarketBook, 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, product, group, service or person 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.

Hello, I'm JayJay. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Help request

{{helpme}} I dont understand why I can't provide information about a company?

Have you read WP:NCORP and WP:ADV and WP:TONE and WP:RS? Obviously not, because those four pages answer all of the reasons the articles will be deleted. gwickwire^talk_editing 17:42, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

I have revised the original post to make the entry neutral as it was not originally. The page will only note that a affiliate to Sandhills Publishing (which already has a company page) exists and that is fair to include in Wikipedia. Even similar companies like Mascus has a Wikipedia page, Sandhills East and Sandhills Pacific are no exceptions. 63.70.164.200 (talk)mara-andersen —Preceding undated comment added 17:50, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

I have moved this down, because new additions should go at the bottom of a talk page, to make the course of the conversation clear.

Your additions were deleted because Wikipedia is not a business listing directory, it is an encyclopedia. It does not expect to have articles about every company that exists, any more than about every person or every building. The inclusion criterion is called Wikipedia:Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about?

For more information see WP:42 and the WP:FAQ/Organizations. If you are connected with the companies you are writing about, please also read the guideline on WP:Conflict of interest. JohnCD (talk) 17:58, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
