Speedy deletion nomination of Little Bay Restaurants


A tag has been placed on Little Bay Restaurants, 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, you can place a request here. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 11:15, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Deletion
Hi thanks for message. I deleted your article I hope this clarifies  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  13:47, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
 * It is a requirement to provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Now, you referenced some of your text, but most is lacking any independent source. It's questionable whether 'Pay What You Think It's Worth' makes it notable enough, but I would not have speedy deleted on that basis alone, and did not do so. I deleted, as the log says, as advertising or promotion.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: The restaurants are famous... quirky decor... prestigious... best restaurants in London... it was highly successful... instantly popular... quirky and romantic... became even more popular... very low prices...&mdash; and we have only got to West Hampstead! It's a publicity leaflet, not an encyclopaedia article
 * The article's supposed to be about the company, but it's basically self-reviews of the restaurants. Little about the company, not even where its headquarters are . How many employees? Turnover? Profits? Has the company or its restaurants ever received negative publicity? Who are its competitors?
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. 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.


 * To be honest, I'm struggling to get anything done on my own articles at the moment, so it's unlikely. I've no idea what the waiting list is like at requested articles. The problem with company topics is that the people best placed to write them tend to have an obvious interest, and new page watchers are understandably suspicious. At least you didn't use the company as your username!


 * you could obviously try again, but it's not easy to distance yourself enough to write an acceptable article.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:27, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
