Proposed deletion of Meta marketing


The article Meta marketing has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Original research / essay

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

About the tags
Greetings, I understand working on your first article can be confusing, but please bear in mind that tags aren't punitive, they're to explain what needs to be fixed. Removing the WP:Orphan and WP:Dead end tags does not fix the problem, and also there's no point removing those because a 'bot will keep re-adding those tags automatically until the situation is fixed. Instead, read the tag, and check out the link built into the tag which explains what has to be fixed.

To give a few examples:
 * The article has the "orphan" tag because no other article links into it. Instead of vainly removing the tag, check out some related articles and see if they already have the term, and a WP:Wikilink can just be put around it, or whether "meta-marketing" is something that needs to be mentioned in related articles, again creating a wikilink.
 * You have the "more links/dead end" tag because you don't have any wikilinks going to other articles. Seriously, please read WP:Wikilinks to get some ideas on how all of Wikipedia is linked together. Right now you have 0 articles going to or from your article, so your article is essentially stranded, and not likely to get many visitors. Don't get annoyed about the tag, address the issue to improve your article.
 * The really big issue is "essay like": your article is written more like a magazine or school essay than a Wikipedia article. Your introduction, for example, is just corporate buzzwords instead of a clear "who, what, where, when, why" introduction. For that, you really want to read WP:LEAD to get some ideas on how a lead is formed.
 * You have a variety of "tone" issues as well: look at other articles, WP doesn't use phrases like "So what is a Meta Market?" That's just not how encyclopedia articles are written. Same with "My research...", WP is written by thousands of people, and the individual people don't get individual voices. Further, WP:Original research is not admissible anyway, so the point is moot.

Just a few ideas on what things to read up on and work towards. Totally agree it's frustrating at first, but instead of fighting it, use the tags as a checklist to figure out each thing you'll want to do to polish up the article. And you can always swing by the Teahouse to get advice from volunteer mentors if you aren't sure how to proceed. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:42, 22 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, and I did want to say, "meta marketing" is definitely something worth having an article on; a search of GoogleBooks shows the term is actually discussed a lot, which should help you a lot in sourcing and describing the subject. Also take a look at Postmodern marketing, which I think is probably a related subject. To get some ideas for how to order/format your article, why not take a look at the basic Marketing to see how it's structured, how the introduction is concise and detailed to get the point across etc. Shoot me a line, or drop into the Teahouse, if you have any questions.
