Speedy deletion nomination of Sydney Portrait Photography, Sydney Portrait, Black and White Photography


A tag has been placed on Sydney Portrait Photography, Sydney Portrait, Black and White Photography requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.  Teapot  george Talk  11:09, 2 November 2010 (UTC)


 * To address your comment on the talkpage: Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collection of information. Our articles are on notable subjects, backed up with facts from reliable sources.  If you wish to recreate your article on your portrait studio (which I don't recommend because of our conflict of interest guidelines), try to make sure that you establish the notability right from the start and keep it neutral in tone.  If it is a thinly veiled advertisement, it will likely be deleted and you will be blocked as a spammer.  In the case of this article, I deleted it because it was essentially an empty article that restated the article title (WP:CSD)).  Regards, Syrthiss (talk) 11:47, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Sydney Portrait Photography, Sydney Portrait, Black and White Photography, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.  Teapot  george Talk  11:33, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to John Zhao. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Syrthiss (talk) 12:04, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
