WP's self-promotion policy
Hi there. You have created a page about Desi Williamson, who is personally connected to Master Communications Group. Doing so on a User page, as you have, is not necessarily a violation of Wikipedia policies, as it may simply serve to let the Wikipedia community know who User:Mastcom is. But setting that page up with the intent of linking to it from other pages violates Wikipedia policy against self-promotion. So does adding Williamson's name to other pages, such as the CBC article.

 * As you've now moved this content to an actual WP page, I've marked it for speedy deletion as spam.

Speedy deletion nomination of Desi Williamson
A tag has been placed on Desi Williamson, 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 Desi Williamson 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.

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed.  Oliver Fury, Esq. message  •  contributions  15:37, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion
The speedy delete has been declined by an adminstrator, so I have nominated Desi Williamson for normal deletion as a violation of self-promotion policy. The discussion is here. PRRfan (talk) 20:57, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
