Speedy deletion of 1800flyeurope
A tag has been placed on 1800flyeurope, 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 FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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.

 * I was asked by my company to put up an informational page about our company. I researched and found many other air travel company's had pages up with factual information and followed their pages as a template. I then posted my page and it was promptly deleted and marked as blatant advertising. I am asking for help userfy(sp?) this page so that we can also have a informational page on Wikipedia. (copied from User:Quartermaster's talk page for clarity)


 * Sorry your article was deleted, but I was not the one that deleted it. I merely tagged it for deletion, which was then acted upon by an administrator. In any case, use of wikipedia as you're describing it is pretty heavily frowned upon. Please consider looking at these following wikipedia pages on Conflict of Interest and Advertising. Citing the fact that others (competitors) have articles on wikipedia is not a defense of using wikipedia for advertising. Such activities are all too common and when discovered will likely be deleted. There are too few of us pruning these "weeds."


 * Encyclopedic articles about a company do exist in wikipedia, but they are usually written and edited by non-involved parties, and consist of citations to authoritative third party sources (e.g., newspapers and magazines).


 * Finally, when finish an entry on a talk page, please use this code: --~

(that's "two dashes followed by four tildes") which will automatically sign your entry with a date and time stamp and your user name. --Quartermaster (talk) 22:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
