Speedy deletion nomination of Northampton Music Festival
Hello Dang5694,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Northampton Music Festival for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. FoxyOrange (talk) 10:00, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Dear Dang5694, I very much appreciate you joining Wikipedia and writing your first article. The subject, Northhampton Music Festival, sounds interesting and I guess that it's indeed a good idea to have an article about it. Unfortunately, currently your writing reads like an advertisement. This is not acceptable. Look, it starts with " the Northampton Music Festival is a showcase and celebration of Northampton’s exciting music culture", and goes on with adjectives like passionate, fantastic and vibrant. Such words are not suitable for an encyclopedia. Please have a look at our manual of style and keep in mind that Wikipedia articles are required to have a neutral point of view. What is more, the sentence "with our main stage taking over Northampton’s Market Square [...]" shows that you seem to be closely affiliated with the subject, so that there might be a conflict of interest. It's still okay to write the article, but (so to speak) the reader must not notice your promotional goals. Best regards--FoxyOrange (talk) 10:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
