User talk:Chefben

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Benjamin Christie may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers, and encourages them to become Wikipedians. On Wikipedia, each user is entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects.

Speedy deletion nomination of Gourmet Ads
A tag has been placed on Gourmet Ads, 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 that 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 Gourmet Ads 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 independent 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. Accounting4Taste: talk 23:22, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gourmet Ads
A tag has been placed on Gourmet Ads 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Why your page was deleted
Your page was deleted because it didn't state notability. In other words, why should Gourmet Ads have an entry in an encyclopedia? Did it win an award? Is it a leader in the industry, according to an independent, third-party source? Etc. If you want, you can go to deletion review and try to explain your case there. --I dream of horses (talk) 00:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If you want to work on the article without it being deleted, you can put it in your user space and move it when you think it's ready. For example, start the article at User:Chefben/Gourmet Ads.  You can then ask for the opinions of other editors at The Drawing Board.  I would also suggest that you request a user name change, since the current user name is connected with the subject of the article, and that suggests a tone of promotion (or at least hints at a conflict of interest).  ...  disco spinster   talk  00:25, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
