Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Providence health & services, southwest washington, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and 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.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Providence health & services, southwest washington and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. De728631 (talk) 16:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- Hello. First of all let me give you a few tips for using talk pages on Wikipedia. New posts should always be placed at the bottom of a talk page, not on top. Also you should sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~ so we can see who wrote it.
- Now for your article: I had tagged it for speedy deletion since I do not think that this company satifies Wikipedia's criteria of notability (Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)). As you are the creator of the article you must not remove this notice on the article site because an admin will now decide whether to delete the page or some other editor will declare it notable enough. So let's wait with changing the title and see if the page is kept at all. That means if it is deleted now it should not be recreated under another name. De728631 (talk) 17:37, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
I left you a note on the page. I'm sorry I'm getting the hang of this. SWSA MC (talk) 17:53, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
- If you can add reliable secondary sources that would testify, say, a nationwide media coverage of the company then the article would be notable enough. As I said, please wait for an admin to decide upon the page. If it is deleted you can then create a new article with a correct title and proper sourcing of notability. If someone only decides to remove the pink deletion tag, then we can proceed and move the page to its proper title so you can rewrite the content. As to Facebook, what is this about linking to Wikipedia? Afterall not everything that exists needs an article on Wikipedia. De728631 (talk) 18:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
Here is the article I read: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2362825,00.asp as well as the facebook article http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=382978412130 as well as a facebook FAQ. http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17112
That looks to me like if you don't have a wikipedia profile then you are doomed to have no information and suitcase for a photo.
ps: we have coverage as a reliable secondary source. thank you for deleting. SWSA MC (talk) 21:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
