Welcome!

Hello, Jnormand, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as The Curator&, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Curator's Eye


A tag has been placed on The Curator's Eye, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:54, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Suggestion
Rewrite. Remember this is an encyclopaedia, not a directory. Any peacock phrases and PR jargon should be avoided - "utilizes advanced web-based technology to augment the curation,", "Distinguished as", "team of knowledgeable and specially trained" are company profile or brochure expressions. Also avoid things like passionate (you did) and focussed (you didn't) and solutions (possibly not applicable). Look at other articles, and at WP:NPOV (neutral point of view). Claims should be referenced in reliable independent sources WP:RS. You have to show that your subject is notable, but without appearing to be plugging it as the best thing since sliced sheep (Damien Hirst). WP:COI would be a good read too, unless you are a rare independent enthusiast quite unconnected to the business. (I've been called a lot worse than cynical...) Basically, look at your work and pretend you've just found it somewhere. Ask yourself, "Is this so-and-so trying to sell me something?". Be honest. And ask for opinions. Make the new version at User:Jnormand/DRAFT and keep it there until someone says 'spam' or 'OK to go'. Most regular editors and admins are willing to give opinions, time permitting. We all have other lives (sometimes several...). Peridon (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
