Speedy deletion of Bad Press
A tag has been placed on Bad Press 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 company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ~Matticus TC 10:04, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. See WP:N for an explanation of what that means. Follow the links below to learn more:
 * 1) To learn more about creating articles, read the introduction, tutorial, and Guide to creating your first article.
 * 2) Do not write articles about yourself, your company, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * 3) Wikipedia is not an advertising service.
 * 4) For experiments, please use the sandbox. JohnCD 12:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Bad press, 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. JohnCD 12:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Advice
To challenge speedy deletion, you need to put on the article, as explained on the notice. To help, I've done that for you. Now the administrators will read your reasons before they decide. In any case, please read and understand Wikipedia's policies on notability, advertising and conflict of interest. JohnCD 13:09, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

OK
I am not an editor of Bad Press. As someone who has featured in only one of there numerous publications there may arguably be a conflict of interest, so can we wait to see if someone else unmarks it before it is deleted! I have linked it to other notable and reliable sources within Wikipedia.

British revival poetry and modernist poetry is a well documented and notable occurence in the history of contemporary literature, and with who it has published Bad PRess is a direct and notable continuance of this. Is it this connection that is upsetting?

Thanks for adding the hangon! Ccpaul 13:24, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
