Speedy deletion nomination of Value proposition canvas


A tag has been placed on Value proposition canvas, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Jinkinson  talk to me  19:02, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I deleted your article because
 * It did not explain what the context was, or what we are talking about. The Value Proposition Canvas is a tool &mdash;like a hammer?
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: build your company’s Value Proposition to Customers
 * I am working on behalf of Alex Osterwalder, the originator of the Business Model Canvas&mdash;You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

Basically, you need to explain what you are talking about in an encyclopaedic way, and show it meets our notability criteria using third-party references  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:44, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
