Speedy deletion nomination of Torquay Living Magazine
A tag has been placed on Torquay Living Magazine, 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.

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.

Removing Speedy at Torquay Living Magazine
Hi there Nick Cheshire! I saw that you added a hangon tag to a page which you created, Torquay Living Magazine. This is good, but in the process you removed the tag requesting deletion under CSD G11. Even though there is a hangon on the page, the deletion template should remain there. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that the page is going to get deleted. Make sure you edit the talk page of the page nominated for deletion, located at Talk:Torquay Living Magazine, administrators will look at your reason why the page should remain before they decide what to do.

Torquay Living Magazine
The following message is copied + pasted from Talk:Torquay Living Magazine -- DWZ (talk • email • contribs) 14:53, 2 September 2009 (UTC)  My name is Nick Cheshire and I am the Publishing Director for the magazine, Torquay Living Magazine. I am new to wikipedia. I have looked at several newspaper and magazine submissions and have followed a similar style. The magazine received its ISSN number from the Bristish Library in August 2009 and so is a new publication. If it is not appropriate to include content on new publications, no problem. However, if any further content can be added to help keep it on the site, please let me know and I will make the relevant changes. Thankyou. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nick Cheshire (talk • contribs)
 * Hi Nick, my name is Alan. First, welcome to Wikipedia.  Articles which are included in Wikipedia must follow a number of rules to ensure that the content on the site as a whole remains reputable.  There were a few problems with Torquay Living Magazine which I noticed which is why I tagged it for deletion.  The first was that it seemed to violate the no advertising rule, secondly, it seemed to violate neutral point of view rule (given that you are an employee of the magazine in question), and finally, it did not appear notable (which would make sense if it's a new publication).  If you believe that I may have misunderstood, please let me know.  Please don't feel disheartened by this, we welcome your contributions, but as I'm sure you can imagine, it takes a great deal of work to ensure that Wikipedia remains a useful site for all.  Feel free to contact me directly should you have any other questions.  Cheers, -- DWZ (talk • email • contribs) 14:53, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:54, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
