Speedy deletion nomination of Totally Sporty London
A tag has been placed on Totally Sporty London, 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Totally Sporty London, 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. Quasihuman (talk) 10:03, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Your e-mail
Hey there, thanks for sending me the e-mail earlier today. To let you know what I nominated the article you wrote for deletion is that, at the time I reviewed it, it appeared to be written in a manner that promoted the company, and article written in such a manner cannot be accepted into this encyclopedia. You say that you rewrote the article, but the administrator who deleted the page obviously felt it was still written in a promotional tone.

I accept that it may not have been your intention to advertise the company, and if you can abide by Wikipedia policy then I and other editors would be happy if you made a clean start&mdash;after all, Wikipedia relies on volunteers usch as yourself to write this encyclopedia. Therefore, if you still wish to contribute to Wikipedia, then read WP:ADVERTISING and, more importantly, WP:Five pillars. If you still think that Totally Sporty needs an article, I reccomend you write it in your userspace and submit it for review at WP:RFF, where an experienced user (I'm over there occasionally) will make suggestions and round it into an article that can be published.

Finally, Wikipedia's e-mail feature is meant only for discussing something sensative. To discuss an issue such as the one you contacted me about, it is much easier to leave me a message on my talk page. If you have any questions, or need some help with an article, don't hesitate to drop me a line. Good luck!  WackyWace  converse 13:05, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
