Spam in Mission grounds gourmet coffee
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mission grounds gourmet coffee, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mission grounds gourmet coffee is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mission grounds gourmet coffee, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Mission grounds gourmet coffee itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:06, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Mission grounds gourmet coffee
It should not be deleted because I change the article completely. The first article that was tagged for deletion was an advertisement for my coffee. I took that entire artice out and talked about the good Mission Grounds is doing instead of selling the coffee. I addressed all the issues that were brought up in the prior comments. However you have articles on Starbucks and their coffee which is an ad for them and was no different from my article. However I removed that though one could claim you are favoring Starbucks and discriminating against me. I give all the profits to children so this submittal is an essay on the good we are doing and not an advertisement. But I would like you to explain how the articles on McDonalds and Starbucks are not advertismenets?

A template has been added to the article Mission grounds gourmet coffee, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author. WebHamster 10:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Mission grounds gourmet coffee, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. WebHamster 01:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
