Speedy deletion nomination of User:JEYates


A tag has been placed on User:JEYates, 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 this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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. Peacock (talk) 13:33, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

User pages and encyclopedia articles
User pages are intended for the volunteers, who are here to build the encyclopedia, to say a little about themselves, if they choose, to help communication within the project. They are not intended for substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia.

If you want to write about the VVI in Wikipedia, you should do that as an article in the main encyclopedia. If you want to use content from the organization's website, you must arrange a copyright release as explained at WP:Donating copyrighted materials, but it may well not be worth doing that, because an encyclopedia article is quite a different thing from the sort of manifesto an organization itself displays on its website: it needs a WP:Neutral point of view and should avoid any kind of promotion. Also, it needs to establish notability by citing references that show significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. It would be useful for you to read: Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:22, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
