Sacred Vigilance
A tag has been placed on Sacred Vigilance, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Sacred Vigilance and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CultureDrone (talk) 14:55, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Sacred Vigilance
A tag has been placed on Sacred Vigilance, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Advertisement on Sacred Vigilance
I have not seen the article mentioned, but i can see the current one claiming that an article cannot be advertising because it is not about a product or service. Actually, any subject can be regarded spam if the article about it seems to favor a certain Point of View, or if the article seems to promote the subject. Everything can be promoted, from books till people, and from organizations till cities.

If your article was marked as spam, you might want to have a look at WP:NPOV and WP:ADVERT, two guidelines dealing with what is, and what isn't spam. Also, avoid weasel and peacock words. Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 09:44, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
