To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Speedy deletion nomination of Howthemarketworks
Hello Aegisknight,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Howthemarketworks for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.  Olowe2011  Talk 00:02, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Aegisknight, you left this rationale on the article talk page;


 * This page should not be speedily deleted because... This is an information page for one of the most common external resources in high schools in the united states over the past several years. It has an 11 year history, over 5 million total users, and has been cited by everyone from PBS to Mashable. It is about 200 times bigger than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_Magnate Wall Street Magnate, which has had a page up for 2 years without issue, so I cannot possibly see why that would be listed while Howthemarketworks is not. --Aegisknight (talk) 12:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you cannot open a discussion there once the page has been deleted so I have copied it here. The article was not deleted for lack of importance, but rather, because it was promotional. However, I also noted that it failed to establish notability by citing reliable sources and this did not help its case. We do not take other articles into consideration when deciding on deletion, this is an other stuff exists argument. You should probably also read our conflict of interest guideline.
