Speedy deletion nomination of Yoga Wisdom at Work


A tag has been placed on Yoga Wisdom at Work, 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 FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this 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. - MrX 14:44, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a guidebook or manual, nor is it a medium for promoting or publicising anything. For both these reasons, it is inappropriate to create an article for the purpose of "sharing the wisdom that the practice of yoga can contribute". In addition, an article should be about its subject, not about writing about its subject on Wikipedia, so remarks along the lines of "This article is under development.." do not belong in an article. If they belong anywhere, it is in the article's talk page, which in this case would have been Talk:Yoga Wisdom at Work. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:04, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
