Speedy deletion nomination of Benchmark Education Company


A tag has been placed on Benchmark Education Company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  ttonyb (talk) 03:09, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I  think its clear the company is important, so I didn't delete the article. But the article is not satisfactory, and must be drastically improved to stay in Wikipedia
 * 1) Please use the standard company infobox, not a custom one.
 * 2) Avoid Peacock terms.
 * 3) You must have references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.  All the awards must be documented
 * 4) see our rules about Conflict of Interest. As they say, even with Conflict of Interest you may edit, provided you do so objectively. It is not advised, because experience shows that a person will have great difficulty writing an objective article about themselves. As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of the organization wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. If you think you can do it right according to the guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.
 * 5) You may not copy information from a web page or previously published material/ first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you give us permission according to WP:DCM (You must explicitly license the rights to the material according to our licensing, using the CC-BY-SA  and the GNU  licenses ; be aware that these licenses  give everyone in the world an irrevocable license to reuse and alter the material, even for commercial purposes.   ) the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.
 * 6) Include only the material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the organization and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia . Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the organization, or to prospective clients--that sort of content is considered promotional. Keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive.

For further information see our FAQ about business, organizations, and articles like this and also WP:FIRST. I advise you to improve this article very quickly, before the article gets deleted by a regular deletion process.  DGG ( talk ) 04:55, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for using Wikipedia only for advertising, and block evasion. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:14, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
