Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Balding Bits and Spurs


A tag has been placed on Tom Balding Bits and Spurs, 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, you can place a request here. Cindy ( talk ) 21:41, 9 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, while we have been able to verify authorization to use the copyrighted material from the Tom Balding Bits and Spurs corporate office, in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines, we are unable to retain the content in the encyclopedia, due to the blatant advertising and promotional nature of the material. If you wish to try a second time, I recommend that you draft an article in a subpage of your userspace, for example at User:Bridgettholtz/Tom Balding Bitss and Spurs. You can then either submit the article to the Articles for Creation team or contact me and ask me to review your draft to ensure that it meets the guidelines for inclusion. In all regards, please do not use the Tom Balding image/advertisement previously added to the article. Keep in mind that content must be neutral, making sure to read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations, refrain from using promotional tone, and make sure to support all content through significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. See also the notability guidelines for organizations. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Cindy  ( talk ) 22:03, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
