Speedy deletion nomination of Will Petrik


A tag has been placed on Will Petrik, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Will Petrik has been reverted. Your edit here to Will Petrik was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.twitter.com/willpetrik) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 01:23, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Inappropriate page
Hello! Please do not introduce inappropriate pages into Wikipedia, as you did with Will Petrik. The page has been deleted; please do not recreate it. Problems with the page: 1) the person does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion in an international encyclopedia. Please see WP:POLITICIAN for an explanation of what is needed to have a page about a politician. City council members do not qualify. Candidates who have not yet been elected to office do not qualify. 2) This page, although written in an attempted neutral way, serves only as a campaign document for him. That is why it was described as promotional or advertising. 3) Your username indicates that you intended this to promote his campaign and that you have a conflict of interest. For all these reasons, Wikipedia will not allow an article about Mr. Petrik at this time. Maybe if he later gets elected to a higher office than city councilmember, an article could be created then. Thanks for understanding. --MelanieN (talk) 01:45, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Will Petrik


A tag has been placed on Will Petrik requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Will Petrik. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. ''You created this page again, after explained that it was not appropriate for Wikipedia. I have tagged it for deletion again, and please consider this a formal caution: your behaviour is starting to become disruptive to Wikipedia.'' Gronk Oz (talk) 14:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Will Petrik. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. ''As the author of the page, you must not remove deletion tags. If you wish to dispute the deletion for a valid reason, then please follow the link and explain it. But do not remove the tag yourself.'' Gronk Oz (talk) 16:07, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
