Speedy deletion nomination of User:Aoife Hegarty/UPR Info


A tag has been placed on User:Aoife Hegarty/UPR Info, 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 unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  15:03, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Promotional editing
I see that at User talk:Aoife Hegarty/UPR Info you posted a message which began :This page is not unambiguously promotional, because..." and then went on to explain that the page existed to increase public awareness of what you clearly regard as the good work of the organisation. Writing stuff to bring public awareness to something which you want to be better known is exactly what "promotion" means, and Wikipedia's policy is totally unambiguous: we do not promote, publicise, or advertise anything, no matter how good a cause we may think it is.
