The article Shock of pleasure has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Deleted Article: Shock of Pleasure[edit]

Howdy Whpq,

Please help me understand the reasons for deleting the Shock of Pleasure Page from Wikipedia. I am the group's manager and anything we submit comes directly from the source. Executive Music Group (EMG) has SOP information on their site that we furnished to them. EMG have been our record company affiliate for 3 years.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. PLEASE READ THE PREVIOUS RESPONSE FROM NawlinWiki BELOW:

The version I deleted was written like a straight advertisement or PR release. See WP:SPAM. The current article is better. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As NawlinWiki has noted the article was advertising. It was also a copy of material which specifically stated that EMG held the copyright to the material, and as such is not something that can simply be copied into Wikipedia. Copyright material can be donated (WP:DCP), but donating material which is essentially a press release would likely not be accepted. So in either case, it would be deleted. -- Whpq (talk) 20:24, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
