Hello, Jonescf, 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 Destinology, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Destinology


A tag has been placed on Destinology 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. bonadea contributions talk 10:22, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for your message on my user talk page. The reason why Destinology was deleted was first that it did not make any credible claim as to the significance or importance of the subject, and second that it was promotional in tone. You can see the criteria for speedy deletion here. If you want to discuss the deletion of the article, you can contact one of the two administrators who deleted it, Anthony Bradbury and Jimfbleak, on their respective user talk pages. They will be able to see the deleted article (which I can't) and maybe comment on it in greater detail. Thank you! --bonadea contributions talk 11:37, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines for organizations and companies.

It was also written in a promotional tone and looked like an advert. Please see this information. For example, your external links were just sales pages. The style was also that of a promotion '' luxury...bespoke... offering...select...''

It is clear that the purpose of the page is to promote the company, rather than create an encycopaedia article

Hope this helps  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:47, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
