Speedy deletion nomination of Base Connections Telemarketing


A tag has been placed on Base Connections Telemarketing, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. —S MALL JIM   17:13, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Base Connections Telemarketing. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. —S MALL JIM   17:14, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Your purpose here
On the now deleted Talk:Base Connections Telemarketing page, you wrote: "I have been on the Telemarketing page which needs improvement as there is no information about the UK telemarketing industry. I saw then there is a list of Telemarketing Companies which have links to their pages. I therefore wish to improve the Telemarketing page, add Base Connections to the Telemarketing Companies and an overview and history of Base Connections to Wikipedia there are many other companies on Wikipedia including other Telemarketing Companies so do not think Base Connections should be deleted. Telemarketing does not have the best press due to unscrupulous organisations and it would be good to explain why B2B telemarketing actually helps the economy by putting businesses together."

This is fine, and neutral additions to any of our articles are welcome, as are new articles on topics that are notable. However, the text you added was of a clear promotional nature, which is not permitted here. I suggest you read our guide on conflict of interest, and learn about our policy of verifiability too. I hope this helps, —S MALL  JIM   17:22, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
