Speedy deletion nomination of Smartrip Chile


A tag has been placed on Smartrip Chile, 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.

Hi, I am wondering why the page that I created is being deleted? I don't understand what I am doing incorrectly. Please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keri Forsberg (talk • contribs) 21:00, 26 August 2014‎ (PDC)


 * That page was deleted because it read like a blatant advertisement, with phrases such as "offers first class hotels at the best prices in the market". See also WP:MISSION. Huon (talk) 21:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)


 * thank you for your response. I see what you are referring to and understand your reasoning. If I was to change the wording so that it is within the guidelines, will I be able to try to create the page again? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keri Forsberg (talk • contribs) 21:38, 26 August 2014‎ (UTC)
 * If you want to recreate the page you can talk to the Administrator who deleted the page, NawlinWiki, you can also review this page: Deletion review to discuss the deletion. But before you do that, please read the conflict of interest message below.  A Google search of your name along with SmarTrip Chile shows that you likely have a close connection to the company. —&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160;Bill W.&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160; (Talk)&#160;&#160;(Contrib)&#160;&#160; (User:Wtwilson3) &#160;&#160;— 21:53, 26 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I'd strongly advise you not to re-create a live article but to create a draft via the Article Wizard and to submit it for a review by an experienced editor. Beyond the "advertisement" issue, there were also notability concerns, and few of your references were the reliable, independent sources Wikipedia content should be based on.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Keri Forsberg. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Smartrip Chile, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;Bill W.&#160;&#160;  &#160;&#160; (Talk)&#160;&#160;(Contrib)&#160;&#160; (User:Wtwilson3) &#160;&#160;— 21:46, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
