Speedy deletion nomination of Folk2Folk


A tag has been placed on Folk2Folk, 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 "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. -=# Amos E Wolfe talk #=- 09:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Help me!
Hi, my article 'Boeing UK' has been flagged up as containing language "like an advert" and I wondered whether someone might be able to help me identify which sections are causing this issue? Please help me with... Boeing UK

 * The entire article is one big exercixe in "How great and how British is Boeing UK?" This includes a tone that at times is blatantly inappropriate ("Boeing UK’s footprint has continued to grow" - so what's their shoe size?), but the main problem is that while at a glance the article seems chock-full of facts, a closer look reveals promotional vagueness. After reading the article I know that Boeing UK "designs, manufactures, and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets and satellites" - but I can't tell what airplanes it designs and manufactures. I'm pretty sure none of the prominent Boeing products mentioned in the article - 787 Dreamliner, Chinook, Apache, Harpoon - were actually designed or manufactured by Boeing UK. That of course leaves the question why they're mentioned that prominently; in at least one example I'm pretty sure Boeing UK didn't even sell them. I can't tell which of the mentioned Boeing subsidiaries belong to Boeing UK and which might operate in the UK independently. I can't even tell when Boeing UK was founded - I assume it's younger than the 75 years of Boeing's "relationship" with the UK and older than the seven years since BDUK was established, but technically the article doesn't even say that BDUK is a Boeing UK subsidiary - it might just as well be a subsidiary of Boeing Defense, Space & Security. In fact the article is so vague that it leaves me with a distinct suspicion that there is no entity named "Boeing UK" - the Boeing Company seems to be structured by lines of business, not geographically. Does the topic of your article even exist? I cannot tell. That's a problem. Also, claims of greatness should be based on independent coverage, not on Boeing itself or its partners.

Proposed deletion of Folk2Folk


The article Folk2Folk has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Nice idea, but I don't see anything that indicates that the world at large has taken much note of this company.

While all constructive 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.
