A tag has been placed on Orangecup, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
October 2008[edit]
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Orangecup. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:05, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I think I might be confused... I thought that this was my non-public page (sandbox) to test out my page before it goes public. Am I wrong and if so, can you help me find my sandbox? Thank you!--Orangeisgreen (talk) 07:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi there! I'm just a passer by noticing you seem to be having some trouble. The article mentioned above is in fact one you created on Wikipedia, and not a private one. At the moment it seems the article was written purely for an advertising purpose. I would suggest you read up on Wikipedia's policies, starting from WP:What Wikipedia is not (though I don't remember if that makes mention of advertising, but it'll certainly link you to other policies). Now, you can however work on the article on your own "private sandbox" as you call it. To do so, simply create an article over at User:Orangeisgreen/Orangecup for example (click this red link to create the page) and then simply copy all the content in the current Orangecup article and let the "real" article be deleted while you can work on your own private one. When you are satisfied with the article you have written, you can then perform a page move, thus creating the article on Wikipedia for the public, and this will be put to consensus on whether the article is relevant to Wikipedia or not. Hope this helps! --Please reply on my talk page! Thanks :)RazorICE 07:28, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- I have moved the material from your user page to the User:Orangeisgreen/Orangecup sandbox page. Bear in mind, though that this in no way addresses the issues concerning lack of notability. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:32, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
