Speedy deletion nomination of Gold Coast (magazine)


A tag has been placed on Gold Coast (magazine), 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 "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. Please don't use Wikipedia to promote your business. See WP:COI. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:55, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Boca Life Magazine
Hello Bernardmccormick,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Boca Life Magazine for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 17:35, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Gold Coast magazine was classified as a start-class article. Does the article need to be a higher class for the page to stay live or can it be left as a start-class? Bernardmccormick (talk) 14:26, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The assessment classes of articles, except for Good Article and Featured Article, are meaningless. I have never seen an article nominated for deletion because it was Start-Class (and not for any other reason), and, indeed, such a nomination would, first, be closed either as Keep or as Snow Keep, and, second, would probably be considered either disruptive editing or disrupting Wikipedia to make a point.  Even Stub-class articles are not deleted because they are Stub-class, although a few editors perversely try to delete Stub-class articles.  An RFC reviewer is supposed to assess the article based on whether it will survive a nomination for deletion, such as whether it is verifiable and properly sourced.  However, I am not an expert on the grading scheme.  If you have any further questions, I would suggest that you take them to the Teahouse or the Help Desk.  They will be interested to get a question about an article that was accepted.  They very often get questions about articles that were declined.  Robert McClenon (talk) 15:10, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
 * See discussion at the Help Desk. I will note that editors at the Help Desk are less kind than at the Teahouse, and that the Help Desk editors say that articles that have properly passed AFC review are unlikely to be deleted.  (The Teahouse is meant to be a friendlier version of the Help Desk.)  Robert McClenon (talk) 16:33, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
