Speedy deletion of Talk:Win the Ultimate Prom
A tag has been placed on Talk:Win the Ultimate Prom, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ 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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * The article as it stands right now is nothing more than an advertisement however. My other concern is that this also appears to be copy & pasted from www.wintheultimateprom.com, which is a copyright infringement. Wildthing61476 (talk) 15:11, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I checked and I didn't see an article for The Ultimate Prom Night, so that may also have been deleted for the same reason. Honestly, even if the page were written as advertising, I'm not sure it would meet the criteria in WP:WEB as well. If you can show where this have been covered in 3rd party sources I'd be more likely to want to see the article kept. Wildthing61476 (talk) 16:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info you provided there. First of all The Ultimate Prom Nite is about a TV show in Malaysia, which appears to meet WP:N as a nationally broadcast TV show. Secondly, the links you provided unfortunately don't seem to be reliable soucres as the newspaper article was written by the school sponsoring the event. You can go ahead and repost the article, but I would say that it will probably be deleted under the same grounds again. Unless this can be to be shown as covered in independent sources, that being sources that were not affliated with the school promoting the event, as with the AZ Central link, it's not going to stand much of a chance of being kept.

 * The link you provided to AZ Central however says this: "Grand Canyon University treats 1 Arizona high school to ultimate prom

Sept. 24, 2007 01:39 PM Submitted by Grand Canyon University: One lucky school has the opportunity to win $25,000 in cash and prizes to create a year-ending dance that dreams are made of, courtesy of Grand Canyon University." This was submitted by GCU, and is about a program run by GCU, which obviously makes this NOT an independent source. Wildthing61476 (talk) 17:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
