Speedy deletion nomination of ASEAN Fashion Designers Showcase


A tag has been placed on ASEAN Fashion Designers Showcase, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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 message. Note that the article has been deleted twice. If a new version doesn't address the problems, it is likely that it will be prevented from further recreation. I deleted your article because Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:23, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Most of your text was unreferenced, and the rest was referenced only to press releases or participating designers, not to independent third-party sources
 * It's difficult to see why it is notable. Its website is just a FaceBook page, and we have nothing on funding, expenditure or attendances. The only facts that we are given is the names of the designers and where the show was held, the rest is irrelevant or promotional.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: an original showcase concept... fashion was brought to life... award winning... melting pot... unique and carefully curated...&mdash; and so on, just spam. The whole of the "Aim" section is just fact-free unsourced spam
 * the article was a copyright violation of this page. copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. The page you copied is marked Copyright © 1987 Hayden Ng. All Rights Reserved™. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
 * AFDS has been developed to help raise awareness and appreciation for the unique style and diversity in the Asean region and to promote greater cross-cultural, creative collaboration. This showcase has also been developed to mentor fashion designer students, so that they can find their design direction in the near future.&mdash; You have a conflict of interest when editing this article and you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting this topic. If you work directly or indirectly for any person, group, company or organisation involved in this event, you should note that paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . Please provide the required disclosure. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
