Speedy deletion nomination of Deep Vellum Publishing


A tag has been placed on Deep Vellum Publishing, 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:03, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The page was fairly promotional and it copied material from the publisher's website, so it was also a copyright violation. I know that you're likely the publishers themselves but this is still considered to be a copyright violation per Wikipedia's guidelines. The sentence that was specifically problematic was this one, which was written akin to what you'd see on a press release: "Deep Vellum seeks to enhance the open exchange of ideas among cultures and to connect the world’s greatest writers with English-language readers through original translations, while facilitating educational opportunities for students of translation in the Dallas community, and promoting a more vibrant literary community in north Texas and beyond." Also, companies do not automatically inherit notability because they are associated with notable authors (WP:NOTINHERITED). Sometimes notability can somewhat be transferred if the books are particularly notable, but by large there should be some coverage of the company in independent and reliable sources like newspaper articles about the company. I do see some local press like this news story, but for the most part it looks like there hasn't been a whole lot out there and it may just be too soon for an entry. If you are interested in making an article I'd rather that you go through WP:AfC, a process that would enable an independent second editor to review the page and make a judgement call on whether or not the article passes the various guidelines on Wikipedia.
