Speedy deletion nomination of Fairmont St Andrews

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Fairmont St Andrews, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. --  role player 10:13, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not for promotion
Sorry, but the whole article was hopelessly promotional. "spacious and tranquil... plethora of amenities... proud to have a 120 seat permanent theatre which boasts a built in sound system... the finest in local Scottish produce... international wines carefully selected to enhance your choice of dish... dramatic cliff-top setting... " See Peacock terms. But it is not just a matter of removing some adjectives: the whole thing read like an extract from the hotel's web-site or brochure, designed to make the hotel sound good and to make people want to use it. But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising notice-board, and an encyclopedia article is completely different in tone and purpose.

I cannot imagine anyone unconnected with the hotel's PR department writing an article like that, so I must ask you to read Wikipedia's policies on conflict of interest and advertising. JohnCD (talk) 14:07, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
