 * Your first article
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Biographies of living persons
 * How to write a great article
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial

Hello. I have recently had an article deleted, on the grounds that it was unambiguous advertising. What were the elements of the article that made it fall under this category, and if I were to write it again, what could I change to alleviate this?
 * First, make sure that the subject you're writing about meets the general notablity guideline. Writing articles on non-notable subjects is generally seen as promotional editing even if that wasn't your intention. Second, make sure your article is well-referenced, i.e. that the statements it contains can be verified using sources independent of the subject (Citing sources might come in handy). Third, make sure to read Manual of Style/Words to watch which contains a list of words and phrases your article probably should exclude. I'd also tell you to start your article in the draft space instead of publishing it in the mainspace right away but it seems you did that and it did you no good. That's unfortunate.


 * If you're looking for a more specific take on what your draft did but shouldn't have contained, you can reopen this request using the Admin help template (regular users can't view deleted content). 78.28.45.145 (talk) 12:05, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Admin help Hello. Thanks for getting back to me, and delivering a helpful reply. Per your last sentence, would it be possible to get the specifics on what my draft included which it shouldn't have done? Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Joblogic


A tag has been placed on Draft:Joblogic, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 "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 deleted 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. creffett (talk) 00:10, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
