Speedy deletion nomination of The Anaheim Indoor Marketplace, Orange County's Indoor Swapmeet!


A tag has been placed on The Anaheim Indoor Marketplace, Orange County's Indoor Swapmeet! requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Notability and promotion
I thought I'd explain why the page was deleted. The long and short of it is that the page did not show how this location/business is really notable enough to merit an entry. Just existing does not give notability - you have to prove notability by way of coverage in independent and reliable sources per WP:RS. Reliable sources per Wikipedia are considered to be things like newspaper articles that go into depth about the topic. Routine notifications of events does not count, nor does anything that is released by the organization/subject or anyone involved with them. (WP:PRIMARY) Being a long running organization or doing good things for the community can help raise the chances of them gaining coverage, but these aspects do not give notability in and of themselves.

Also, I was concerned with the tone of your argument for retention on the talk page. It came across fairly promotional and as such I have to ask: were you paid to create the article on Wikipedia? The tone in the article talk page and your name comes across like you are editing with a conflict of interest. You can still edit with a conflict of interest, but you must disclose this on your userpage and you must be very, very careful to follow the guidelines for notability, tone, and sourcing. (WP:GNG, WP:NPOV, WP:PEACOCK, WP:RS, WP:COI) I especially want to stress that you need to be careful of promotional speak even when arguing for an article to be kept, as articles are only kept by way of reliable source coverage and talking the subject up does not really do anything. I keep repeating that because I know that for marketing/promotional professionals it's very, very difficult to write in a NPOV because this is how you're used to writing and we've had some very well meaning people that have written promotional articles that they honestly thought were neutral. It's just that they were very used to writing in a promotional manner. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:05, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd also recommend changing your username to something more neutral sounding, as this really does come across as a promotional username. See WP:USERNAME for more information. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:06, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. 5 albert square (talk) 21:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
