Hi Marthasmith88! Thank you for your editing contributions. I've found the book you are citing on Archive.org and it does appear to be an advertising publication put out by the House of Worth (almost everything in the book promotes Worth's role or the house's designs - I saw some 1910s nods towards other designers, but the primary focus is Worth) so it is not really a reputable/reliable source for much of what it says. This is why I (and others) have had to undo some of your edits. If possible, you should try to use newer, more recently published sources to illustrate and support your additions. It's a fascinating resource, but best considered as a primary source rather than a reliable secondary source, so I have linked to it in the Further Reading sections on the Worth pages.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:E-TeleQuote Insurance Inc.


A tag has been placed on Draft:E-TeleQuote Insurance Inc., 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 deleted 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. Legacypac (talk) 03:37, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Marthasmith88. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but User:Marthasmith88/sandbox has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Identifying blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Dlohcierekim/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD give the appearance of an editor violating Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read FAQ/Organizations.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are  unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. '''That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. ''' Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.

You may find this tool useful: Google custom search Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too.
