Speedy deletion nomination of Freshens Fresh Food Studio


A tag has been placed on Freshens Fresh Food Studio, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. 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. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, press releases, 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 company claims or interviewing its management. You gave no references of any kind. You gave no references at all. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * There is actually no evidence in your text that you meet our notability criteria. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. that's particularly the case when it is a spamlink to your website. You also shouldn't give contact details.
 * Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: ''a healthy fast casual... inspired by fresh ingredients with a focus on customization and speed of service... understands that to stay relevant in today’s market, change is inevitable. The brand has continuously evolved since its inception... quickly achieved a strong national presence... To maintain its leadership position in the industry, Freshëns continues to embrace change, without compromising the strong brand equity and core values it has maintained over the past three decades... dedicated to inspiring a rewarding Journey for the lives we touch... the Foundation is devoted to keeping people “Fit for the Journey.”&mdash;just fact-free sales talk.


 * the article was created in a single edit without wikilinks or references, and looks as if was copied from an unknown and possibly copyrighted source. 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. 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 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. I suspect that the text is largely copied from their website, which is blocking me from access for reasons that are unclear. Unless the website is marked as public domain or otherwise indicates its contents are free to use for any purpose including commercial, you can't use it here
 * If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, and you must declare it. It seems likely that you work directly or indirectly for the company, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, and you are very strongly discouraged 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, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, 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:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

I note your request to restore the text. Although we often post deleted text (edited to remove obvious spam) we do not, for legal reasons, do so if the page is copied from a website. Because their website is blocking me, I can't verify whether any of the text is copied from their website. If you contend that none of your text is taken from the website, or that it is copied from a website clearly marked as "public domain", I'll need to see if another admin, perhaps US-based, can access the site to check that first.

Given that the existing text is unsourced and largely spam, perhaps better to write from scratch, especially if there has been any copying. However, before attempting to write an article again, you need to read this guidance and also respond to my COI request.

 * I asked for help from US-based admins who provided me with the text of the company's website and also pointed me to the company's Facebook page, which I'm obviously able to access, and it looks as if your text was substantially copied from the latter, which has no indication that it is public domain.
