Speedy deletion nomination of Harbour.Space University


A tag has been placed on Harbour.Space University, 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.

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Please add your messages to the bottom of the talk page, or they may be overlooked. I moved this one for you. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. You gave no references of any kind. Note that (independent third-party) references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting
 * You are so busy promoting your courses that you omit to give details of why you are notable. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits. I note that you haven't even started courses yet. In the infobox (but not in the article) you say there 350 academic staff to 200 students. I find a ration of two staff per student hard to believe!
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * Most of the text is spam, but a few examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: If they have an idea or burning desire to be part of the tech industry, Harbour.Space is the place to make it happen... The university’s practical approach to learning and impressive list of corporate and academic partners who are actively involved in shaping the curriculum ensures students gain knowledge relevant to what’s happening today and graduate ready to take on real world situations and challenges... an innovative vision for university education and aims to connect extraordinary young talent with top professionals of today through immersive and progressive learning... A shining example of an inspirational young emale [sic] venture capitalist, Breck Hancock is making waves in the tech world...
 * "Vision and Mission" sigh....


 * the article was effectively created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * Your edits indicate that you have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * If you work directly or indirectly for the company, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing or attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . Please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

I can restore the deleted text, edited to remove the worst of the spam, to a user subpage. Before I do so, you should check that your company meets our notability criteria and that you can find independent third-party references. It may well be too soon.

You must also declare any conflict of interest as instructed in the last bullet point above Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:29, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
