Welcome!

Hello, Carlene05, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Uptown, Victoria, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Uptown, Victoria


A tag has been placed on Uptown, Victoria, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Eeekster (talk) 00:46, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Promotional edits
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 03:57, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Uptown, Victoria deletion
regarding Uptown/Victoria article....why does it get deleted? I don't see how it is any different from Sevenoaks SHopping Centre, or Metrotown articles. What do I need to change? Carlene05 (talk) 17:22, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The article is very promotional and full of marketing jargon and is therefore not allowed per Wikipedia's policy (please read WP:PROMOTION). Are you at all affiliated with Uptown/Victoria? --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:52, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Am I able to submit an article for review? I am certain I have made the correct edits to avoid any further deletion but would like to have it reviewed before I continue. How can I go about this? Thanks for your assistance. Carlene05 (talk) 16:44, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Where is the article saved? --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:05, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

I just placed it on the Sandbox Carlene05 (talk) 18:46, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
 * You could create the article as a subpage of your userspace (example: User:Carlene05/Uptown, Victoria) and then request a review. The online Wikipedia help channel on IRC can be used to generate feedback on the article - just click here and, when promoted upon log-on, type a message to let them know your article has been deleted previously and you would appreciate some input on the revised copy in order to ensure it's not overly-promotional. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:11, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Uptown article
It's still rather promotional.

"Uptown is considered a catalyst for the future of development in..." Considered by who? And can we have an inline citation to the person or people who consider it so?

Some more independent sources would also be a good idea. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:23, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
