Speedy deletion nomination of Tonga Tourism


A tag has been placed on Tonga Tourism, 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. Madg2011 (talk) 18:27, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi! I wanted to give you some advice on this. It looks like the article contained some non-neutral writing like "very rich" and descriptions like "mighty Polynesian god Tangaloa". These are things that are fine in papers and elsewhere but are seen as a bit loaded on Wikipedia since they're often used to promote something. You also want to avoid writing in a very casual style, since this can also come across as promotional - even if unintentional.
 * Something else that I noticed was that the article wasn't really about tourism in Tonga as much as it was about Tonga in general. There's already an article about Tonga, so there's no real need to re-hash a lot of the basic information such as their history, population, and so on. The tourism industry in Tonga is discussed here in specific and at Economy of Tonga. Since the tourism industry there is still developing, this may not be something that would really warrant its own article. I think that a better alternative would be to create a subsection that specifically deals with this topic. On a related note, the article only had one source, a Lonely Planet link. Avoid relying too much on one source - you should try to find multiple high quality sources in order to help verify claims. Also, don't hotlink to outside sites in the article itself, especially not to places like Trip Advisor as that can also make the article seem very promotional and we can't verify the quality of these sites. Hotlinking in general is something that should be done very, very rarely and is typically not something that would be done with this particular topic.
 * I hope that this helps explain things! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 19:04, 28 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi! The page was restored to your sandbox. Along with the things I've brought up above, other things to be careful about are the heading titles, as they need to fit the typical style used on Wikipedia and that the links inbetween articles also fit this same style. I still recommend creating the subsection give that there isn't a lot of information to place on its own at this point in time. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:45, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
