Speedy deletion nomination of Quamby Estate


A tag has been placed on Quamby Estate, 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.

Caution against making Quamby Estate too touristy.
I have approved the article since this is clearly a historically notable building with wide recognition. However, your draft focused far too much on its current commercial operations, which frankly are of far less interest to a universal readership over time. Please ensure you refrain from adding logistical minutiae like "how to get here" or pricing, schedules, glowing reports about what a lovely holiday it makes, etc. The current commercial usage, unless it becomes so significant as to outweigh the previous centuries of use, should be a small section at the end, and maybe just one sentence in the beginning. If the article becomes all touristy, it could be reverted or deleted.

What would greatly help is to include a photo. Do not use commerical or copyrighted photos, use only photos which you yourself have taken (generally speaking). See WP:Images for guidance, and check with WP:Teahouse if you get stuck, since getting all the copyright checkboxes right for photos is confusing to many novices.
