Speedy deletion nomination of OpenRaid


A tag has been placed on OpenRaid, 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, you can place a request here. Darylgolden ( talk ) 09:19, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of OpenRaid
Hello Flameturret,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged OpenRaid for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.  Ish dar  ian  09:27, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Promotion on Wikipedia
I wanted to explain the deletion. The problem is that all organizations have to pass WP:ORG in order to merit an article. Not every organization is notable and notability is established here by coverage in independent and reliable sources per WP:RS. The organization's page is not seen as a reliable source. Also, promotional tones doesn't have to mean that you are trying to sell something for money. Writing about something in a manner that is non-neutral can come across as promotional in tone, as can speech that essentially tells people to come to your website and participate in the organization.

In the end Wikipedia isn't meant to be an all-inclusive list of every organization out there. You have to pass notability guidelines. If you wish to continue editing feel free, but I'd recommend against trying to re-add an article about your organization, as that poses a conflict of interest. (WP:COI) There are some WikiProjects that focus on creating and editing articles about organizations and you can seek help through there.
