User talk:David.curtis

A tag has been placed on Sage hospitality resources, 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, 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 the article 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. WhaleyTim (talk) 18:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi David,

I note that you placed a hangon tag on Sage hospitality resources - That's fine, but please do not delete the speedy deletion tag yourself and please do leave a note on the article's talk page explaining why you believe it should not be deleted with reference to criteria for speedy deletion and the guidelines on spam. Thanks WhaleyTim (talk) 18:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Tim, Just getting started with the Wikipedia community - be gentle. Please review this similar link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilton_Hotels_Corporation

Hi David,

Please have a look at Notability (organizations and companies) - The Hilton article meets many of these criteria, whereas, your article does not. It may be better to work up the article on your user page (preferably in a sandbox) before publishing it on Wikipedia proper WhaleyTim (talk) 18:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

PS

I have also noted another, farly serious, problem I'm afraid - Some of the text of your article has been lifted pretty much directly from the companies own, copyrighted site. If you have permission to use that text you must declare so, if not, remove it WhaleyTim (talk) 19:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Gosh thanks for all your help! I'm so excited to be a part of wikipedia. I will follow your links and learn how better to comply.

Pleased to be able to help WhaleyTim (talk) 19:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
