 * Yes, but it would have to be in your own words. It's OK to use the site as a source of information, but not of words.  Since you're affiliated with the organization, please take a moment to review WP:COI.  No problem writing about a notable personal project as long as the conflict-of-interest policies are followed.  Thanks for asking and thanks for being gracious. I get really slammed all too often when I delete new content.  Feel free to ask any questions you may have over on my talk page.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:41, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of West Georgia Technical College


A tag has been placed on West Georgia Technical College, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 West Georgia Technical College 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 independent 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.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 01:49, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page West Georgia Technical College do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Polargeo (talk) 13:39, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
