Speedy deletion nomination of World Fireworks Championship


A tag has been placed on World Fireworks Championship, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 World Fireworks Championship 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 independent 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.  role player 12:10, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Kris,


 * I did reply to your message, and left the reply on the talk page of the article itself. I am sorry that the article was deleted; I was certainly able to see that the article had been improved.  I can suggest some ways in which the article can be improved further if you intend to repost it.  One of the things that is most important to Wikipedia is that all articles demonstrate their notability, by citing third party, independent references that are externally verifiable.  This is particularly important for future events.  So you need to demonstrate how this event is notable, which you did by stating that it was the largest of its kind, but you need to prove that.  Have a read of the links that I have provided for you, and if you need any other assistance, please do not hesitate to ask. --  role player 11:17, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Roleplayer Thanks for your reply, it's very helpful for me. Sorry I did not see your message before the article was deleted! I shall dust myself off and try again soon, following your tips and advice.

Thanks Kris

Re:World Fireworks Championship
Hi Fieldington. Although it may have not been your intent, your article read like an advertisement. Here on Wikipedia, we have a policy in which advertising/spam is speedy deleted per deletion criterion G11. Please note that articles for deletion are judged on their own merit, not in comparison to other articles (See WP:OTHERSTUFF). You are certainly welcome to resubmit the article, but please revise the text so that it complies with the policies and guidelines noted at WP:ADS and WP:MOS; otherwise, you run the risk of having the article deleted again.
