Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must be verifiable from reliable sources that are independent of the subject; Wikipedias does not publish original research. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. JohnCD (talk) 11:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your client, your journal or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia,not an advertising service or notice-board. Before writing about your own organization, read FAQ/Organizations.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Proposed deletion of Islamic marketing


The article Islamic marketing has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * this seems to be original research and also self-promotion. The only source cited is about a journal which will not launch till next year.

While all 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. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JohnCD (talk) 11:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Islamic marketing
Your edit summary (I guess that 195.229.235.36 is you, editing while not logged in) says "This is a new social science so there are no references to cite. The journal is the first in the field." That is the problem - one of Wikipedia's key content policies is that it publishes No Original Research. Read that policy carefully. Until your journal is established and there is comment on it from independent reliable sources it cannot have an article. You cannot use Wikipedia to publicise it in advance - please also read our guideline on Conflict of Interest. JohnCD (talk) 11:24, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I am in some doubt what to do about this article. If Islamic marketing is "a new social science" that you have founded then, as I have explained, your article is original research and Wikipedia cannot accept it; also, in regard to your new journal you have a conflict of interest. However, the three books you have cited suggest that "Islamic marketing" may be an existing subject on which an acceptable article could be made by citing these existing sources. You would probably be a good person to develop such an article, but it would have to be done without seeming to promote yourself and your journal. I have asked for advice about this at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard - you are welcome to give your views there. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:50, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Smartse (talk) 21:31, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Islamic marketing
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Islamic marketing, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://productivityofbrands.wordpress.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:19, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Islamic marketing
A tag has been placed on Islamic marketing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Manish Earth Talk • Stalk 12:48, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
