Speedy deletion of Paradisus Playa Conchal
A tag has been placed on Paradisus Playa Conchal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of 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 guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ 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), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Stijndon (talk) 19:25, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The "multiple" references were really just Frommer's Review and the New York Times' republishing of the Frommer's Review. That doesn't count as more than one source.  There was nothing to indicate the hotel's notability, so it just seemed like a plug for the subject's amenities.  And simply because Robert Trent Jones designed their golf course, it doesn't make the hotel notable by default.  Lots of famous and prestigious architects design sites and structures that will probably never become notable according to Wikipedia's critera.  Even being the largets/oldest/most anything doesn't arbitrarily make something notable here.  Without any form of reasonable assertation of notability, the copy read only as advertising.


 * Can you find information that makes this specific hotel notable enough to have its own article? If so, we can go ahead and restore it with that information included.  Otherwise, it wouldn't pass peer review.  Let me know how you'd like to proceed. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:27, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest and spamming
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
