Speedy deletion of Lookanshop[edit]

A tag has been placed on Lookanshop, 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 blatant advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Articles in Wikipedia depend on independent sources writing about them. See some of the policies in the welcome template I will post below. So if that journalists article is about your shop in particular then together with other coverage there is a chance that your company can be included. See Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies) for details. If there are any of your competitors who have articles that your feel don't fulfill that guidelines let me know.
