Speedy deletion nomination of GEMS American Academy - Abu Dhabi


A tag has been placed on GEMS American Academy - Abu Dhabi, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 08:05, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Status and Warning
As reviewing administrator, I decided to fix the article rather than delete it, since we normally  do have articles of secondary schools. But I could perfectly well have deleted it, because the article was outrageously promotional & what I need to do is well beyond routine editing. A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise the organization or person, say what they do. Don't talk about the overall importance of the subject--talk about what they have accomplished. Don't use an article on an individual school in an organization as an excuse to talk extensively about the overall organization.

Remember not to copy or use Close paraphrase from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. This material was not, regardless of where you derived it.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective students--that sort of content is considered promotional.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity. But do not submit an article like this again, ever. (I see I shall need to check the articles for other schools in your group).

For further information see our FAQ about business, organizations, and articles like this and also WP:FIRST. The article copy on your user talk p above is not appropriate, btw--I assume it was a draft for your article. But it is promotional, and cannot stay there. I've deleted it.
