User talk:Diymark

A tag has been placed on Diyautoparts, 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. Nenyedi 20:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Mark (I'm going to guess that's your name). This wasn't the page for placing the hangon tag, but I'm the administrator who ended up deleting the page, so if you have a case to make in favor of having a page in Diyautoparts, you can continue the discussion here if you like. Nenyedi's links above will make good reading for understanding why advertising/promotional materials are not appropriate on Wikipedia, a neutrally written encyclopedia. -- nae'blis 21:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
