Speedy deletion nomination of Top 10 drug rehabs in the world
A tag has been placed on Top 10 drug rehabs in the world, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

WP content
Hi Matthew1962 - I saw your comment at Talk:Top 10 drug rehabs in the world. Thanks for putting in so much time and effort; unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't carry the kind of material you submitted. Our neutrality policy means we can't accept "top 10" lists, which involve making a personal judgement based on your original research. The tone of the article, which recommends certain commercial ventures, is also inappropriate for Wikipedia: we are an encyclopedia and cannot promote or recommend commercial products. At Alternative outlets you'll find a list of other sites that might be better suited to the kind of article you want to post. If you have any more questions, please let me know.
