Speedy deletion nomination of Linnett & Everson


A tag has been placed on Linnett & Everson, 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. Cntras (talk) 13:17, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion
You did not ask a question, but the reason your articles were deleted is that this is a project to build an encyclopedia; it is not a free advertising notice-board, and your articles were blatantly promotional. "homes of distinction... beautiful Sussex towns... quality and personal service... strong customer focus... individual flexible, forward thinking approach... " is PR-speak, "peacock terms", totally unsuitable for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view.

Even if the article were written in neutral, factual terms, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business listing directory. Articles have to be of enough general interest for an encyclopedia article: the Wikipedia term for that is Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have other people, independent of the subject, thought it significant enough to write about? More detail in Notability (organizations and companies).

Also, articles must be written from a neutral point of view, and so people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves or their own organizations, because of the conflict of interest involved. See WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
