User talk:Jpatte49

Welcome!
Hello, Jpatte49, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:34, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jpatte49/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Jpatte49/sandbox, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:55, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Your references were all to the company's own website, not independent third-party sources.
 * In the absence of any non-company sources, it's not clear whether it even meets the notability criteria. It would also help with notability if you gave hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: up to date research... Avalon help clients learn how to control their existing symptoms... philosophy of "Treat to Outcome" in it's [sic] treatment plan, trademarking this expression... a commitment to positive treatment outcomes that are sustainable when our clients return home.&mdash; and so on, company talk, not an encyclopaedia article.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to affiliated sites.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read this important guidance.

Not for the first time, it looks as if students have been told to write an article here with no guidance as to how to do it, and it doesn't look as if you have followed the guidance posted at the top of this page.

I don't think this can be recreated on Wikipedia, especially as it was deleted from user space, although I'll ping, who nominated it for deletion, in case we don't agree on that. Unless Chrissymad thinks differently, the only alternative is to email you the text, but that may not help you if your project was to produce a Wikipedia page.
