Proposed deletion of Focus Management Consultants Limited


The article Focus Management Consultants Limited has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This business article doesn't pass Notability (companies) or WP:GNG as written presently. Wikipedia is not Yellow Pages.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Im really struggling to make the right corrections and someone help please?
 * Hi Alanchar1978. Okay, here's what you need to do:
 * Start by finding sources. Wikipedia will only keep articles which are supported by reference to multiple, reliable, independent sources. That's:
 * multiple - at least three, usually
 * reliable - published in an editorially oversighted form (so no blogs, wikis or self-published books/magazines)
 * and independent - not affiliated with the subject (no press releases, interviews, pages from FMC's website etc.)
 * Once you have these sources, cite them in the article.
 * Take out anything that could be considered as promotional - your article isn't actually too bad, although I'd remove "leading" and "specialist" from the first sentence.
 * Trim the list of external links - whilst FMC's website is appropriate as a link, the rest are not (you may, however, be able to use some of these as sources).
 * The sourcing is the most important one - deal with that and deletion is off the table. Then you can start building the article up.
 * Hope that helps. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  10:02, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Ok thank you so much I have edited your points and hope this is now compliant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.21.162 (talk) 10:44, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I apologise - it's not, but that's my fault rather than yours. I neglected to mention one other vital element of finding sources - they must include significant coverage of the subject. The two sources you've added are a start, but they only mention FMC in passing, and therefore don't fulfil the requirements of Wikipedia's content guidelines.
 * What you need is something like a newspaper or magazine article that has around 200 words or a couple of paragraphs on FMC and their activities. For an example of an article on a similar company, have a look at the sources on Hays plc - there's information from The Financial News, The Glasgow Herald, BBC News, The Telegraph and The Independent, all of which have published articles that contain a reasonable amount of information about Hays. That's the kind of thing you should be looking for.
 * It's also worth noting at this juncture that FMC might simply not meet Wikipedia's inclusion requirements - many companies don't. That's no reflection on them as a business, merely a statement that Wikipedia's fairly narrow and specific content guidelines do exclude rather a lot of topics. We aren't try to create an indiscriminate collection of information - some stuff just doesn't go in. If you can't find suitable sources for FMC, then they probably don't warrant an article here yet.

Thanks new source added, i will en-devour to find more and provide them soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.21.162 (talk) 13:52, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * If you cannot find the right sources, you can ask for the article to be userfied to your sandbox for further editing in the future; this will ensure that the work you've put so far is not wasted. I'd strongly encourage you to try to gain experience editing other articles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:50, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
