Speedy deletion nomination of User:Kcdija


A tag has been placed on User:Kcdija, 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 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Peridon (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here)

The article speaks to the need for Caribbean states to come together an address a pending threat to the region food security.

Many member states in the English-speaking Caribbean are unaware of the current electronic waste (e-waste) threat and the assistance offered by the Basel Convention Regional Center for the Caribbean. We live in a global community and if the English-speaking Caribbean does not address this threat we will all be effected.

E-waste contaminates ground water if not disposed of properly. This will impact on food, tourism, health sector, and government expenditure.

The intent of the article is to sensitize the reader and offer him further information to address the challenge.

 * "The intent of the article is to sensitize the reader"? That is promotion and not what an encyclopaedia is about. Peridon (talk) 22:24, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
