Speedy deletion nomination of Gadabout SalonSpas


A tag has been placed on Gadabout SalonSpas, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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". 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 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. Secret account 22:53, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Gadabout SalonSpa
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Gadabout SalonSpa, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.yellowpages.com/tucson-az/mip/gad-about-12379224.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Help request
I have been trying to publish an article about a salon in Tucson, I thought I had done it correctly the first time, but it was deleted for being promotional. That worked for me, after re-reading everything I can see how that could be. So I edited the article and took out a lot of the information that seemed promotional, I am a marketer and sometimes I don't realize I'm being promotional, it's just in my nature. I re-published the article with the edites I had made and it was marked with this:

, but I wrote the article myself using sources from the Gadabout website and Gadabout's own employees. Now the second article has been deleted as promotional and I don't know what else I can eliminate without not touching on all aspects of the company.

I would really love some advice!! Thank you!! KimmiReam (talk) 19:55, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I see two issues here:
 * Information in Wikipedia needs to come from "reliable sources"—and "the Gadabout website and Gadabout's own employees" aren't included in that category. I strongly recommend that you read these links to see what sources are considered usable:
 * WP:Identifying reliable sources
 * WP:Verifiability


 * You don't say outright that you're doing marketing for the salon, but that's the implication. Given that, I recommend you read:
 * WP:Conflict of interest
 * WP:FAQ/Organizations
 * WP:Suggestions for COI compliance
 * WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest
 * Those pages should give you some help on taking your next step, and thanks for asking! Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 21:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
