User talk:Pparrish57

A tag has been placed on Arts Center of St. Petersburg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. MrClaxson 17:44, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You wrote "Arts Center of St. Petersburg is the same entity as The Arts Center. An entry has been created for The Arts Center. The link from the Arts Center of St. Petersburg was not advertising but rather intended to direct users to an external site that references the subject, similar to other organizations listed on Wikipedia that do the same".
 * The purpose of Wikipedia is not to consist of a link offsite. That is linkspam. Please read notability guidelines and what wikipedia is not. David Fuchs 20:34, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it. I made a hell of a lot of mistakes when I first came here too. As long as you learn from your mistakes, good users shouldn't bite you about them. I hope you decide to stay and continue editing. David Fuchs 15:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
