Speedy deletion nomination of Visit West Japan


A tag has been placed on Visit West Japan, 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. VQuakr (talk) 05:28, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media press releases and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. You gave two references, but they were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting. Furthermore, one of the refs was the company's website, which is not an independent third-party source, and the other didn't mention Visit West Japan
 * To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees or funding. You don't even say where the headquarters are.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. You don't actually tell us anything about the organisation, it's just mission statement stuff like "The concept of Visit West Japan is to promote the region both domestically and internationally".
 * Most of your article is a pointless list of places in Japan, nothing about the topic of the article.
 * I don't think there is any real relevant content in the article that's worth restoring, especially as there is no evidence that it's notable. You could translate the Japanese Ryobi article, but note that the above points about notability, referencing and promotional tone still apply. The fact that the article exists on Japanese Wikipedia doesn't mean that it would be acceptable here without further work. Each language wiki has its own rules, and en-wiki is stricter than most. I don't know Japanese, so I can't comment on the current Ryobi article. In case it's relevant, note that you must not copy pages from any website or other source, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * Your editing history and knowledge of future plans suggests that you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, and you must declare it. Since you appear to work directly or indirectly for Visit West Japan or Ryobi, or otherwise are acting on their behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the companies you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . Please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block.
 * Please do not edit further until you respond to the COI request.
