Promotional material
Please don't add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did in this edit to the Barrie article. Content should be encyclopedic, and should not advertise products or services, especially those tangential to the topic. Mind matrix  23:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

I must apologize, I thought the content was "editorial enough" to not be considered promotional. Which post is objectionable, the Barrie: A Place To Grow or the Barrie Condominiums? Perhaps you could steer me in the right direction...thanks! Mktg262 (talk) 23:38, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, as it seems like you are asking that one editor, i have deactivated the help tag. You may wish also to post your question at that user's own talk page, or put a talkback template on their talk page. Thanks,  fetch  comms  ☛ 23:42, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd like to explain the reasons for reversion. Although some of the content is OK, such as the explanation of the growth planning and greenspace, specific mention of condo developments is promotional, and external links within the body of the text are strongly discouraged and almost always removed. None of the links to the barriecondoteam website merit inclusion, nor do any of the real estate listings that were added (that is, the condo info, addresses, links etc.) It's simply superfluous detail to the main topic of the article. Wikipedia has received many submissions for inclusion of such info, and they are all deleted. See, for example, the discussions about The Chateaus in the Highland of Castlemore, Brampton and South Pointe, Innisfil. Mind  matrix  17:10, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Barrie: A Place to Grow
A tag has been placed on Barrie: A Place to Grow, 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.
