Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Lamudi Kenya


A tag has been placed on Draft:Lamudi Kenya, 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.

Hi, thanks for email. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you gave a lsit of bare urls at the end, because they were not  in-line, I have no idea what claimed fact each was intended to support
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include:  ensuring their customers are finding properties of their liking within their vicinity... boasted of launching an Android and iOS app for their consumers and a relaunch of their website later on in the year. 
 * reported that Lamudi Kenya replicated it's [sic] competitor's property listings. The CEO of Lamudi East and South Africa, Aneesa Arshad remarked on the accusation affirming that multiple agencies request Lamudi Kenya to update the listings from competitor sites like Buyrentkenya where the alleged listings already existed.&mdash; this looks like an unsourced claim of illegal activity
 * it's all about what the company organisation does, little about the company itself other than locations. How many employees? Turnover?
