User talk:CruiseOne

A tag has been placed on CruiseOne, 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 or service and which 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 page 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. The Kinslayer 14:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll redo using industry trades as references, and write in a more fact based style.

I followed editor Uncle G's Advice - all info is factual and cited.
OK....I followed Uncle G's guidelines and limited my statements to facts that could be found in citations. I don't understand the issue with this. All that is in this posting is a single point of reference with links to their original sources - why would this be spam? If the world's largest distributor of cruises isn't notable, why does travelocity have a listing as a large travel distributor? Certainly they are notable in other niches of travel, but CruiseOne leads the industry in cruise sales (as referenced in article).
