Speedy deletion nomination of Emrc
Hello JohnPWFoster at AdHoc Media,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Emrc for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  22:18, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. ''
 * I knew this template was around somewhere, just had to find it. Yes, it would be advisable to use your sandbox to develop the article. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;   &#9743;(talk)''  22:59, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks...will have a go though the userdraft

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "JohnPWFoster at AdHoc Media", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to potentially be promotional (see Username Policy: Promotional). If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  23:04, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, Loriendrew is mistaken. A username such as "AdHoc Media", suggesting that the account represents the company as a whole, is contrary to the username policy, but a name such as "JohnPWFoster at AdHoc Media" is perfectly OK, as you can see if you look at Username policy, where it says However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", "LoveTrammelArt", etc. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:07, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * John, make sure you do not delete this discussion, in case other people make the same mistake I did. Thanks Watson!-- &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  15:14, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks James...I'm glad I kept it open. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.47.223.5 (talk) 12:20, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

All of your editing seems to consit of writing a page which seems to exist to promote the European Marketing Research Centre. Wikipedia is not a medium for any kind of promotion or advertising, and content of Wikipedia needs to be written from a neutral point of view. If you have a connection to a subject about which you are writing, such as a finacial relationship, it can be very difficult to write in an appropriately neutral way, even if you sincerely intend to do so. This is one of the reasons why Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages one from writing on a subject to which one has a close personal connection. Any page which appears to exist essentially for promotional purposes may be speedily deleted without notice, and any account which seems to exist purely for promotional editing may be blocked from editing. I am not at present proposing to delete your sandbox page, nor to block you from editing, but I thought it only fair to make sure you are aware of the situation, as either or both of those things may well happen if you continue in the same way.

Hi James, thanks for the guidance. I'm just practising on EMRC as its the first article I'm trying to write. I am just pulling my hair out about how to format, how to cite sources, how to post links, as I realise that any article that doesn't fit the above will get deleted, hence my numerous edits on the sandbox - after all that's what the sandbox is for.
