As a guide to more acceptable writing let me suggest:

Though awards can show notability, they should not be overemphasized in the article. We also refer to people after the initial mention by their last namer only, without title like "Professor", and do not prefer to their names in every possible sentence. A good substitute is "he" or, for a company, either "They" or It".

Puffery like "maximizing the leadership ability of company CEOs" and jargon such as "maximize career success",    "building companies", and "core competency" should be avoided. not to mention such PR-talk as "received praise in the autobiography of a prominent client".

Please also see WP:COI. If you are going to write articles for your company or for a client, it does them no good to write in this manner. We tolerate COI editing only when it follows good encyclopedic writing practice. If it sound like a PR piece, it does not belong in an encyclopedia.  DGG ( talk ) 04:13, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your comments for improvement herein, as well as the criticisms voiced on the corresponding pages (GhSMART & Company, Inc. & Geoff Smart). While I do believe the documents adhere to Wikipedia standards, I can see why some language is considered puffery. I will do my best to address these concerns and edit the documents accordingly. I invite your comments as I move forward with this process.  RMRicondo ( talk ) 15:40, 16 July 2012

Speedy deletion nomination of Geoff Smart


A tag has been placed on Geoff Smart, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Bgwhite (talk) 07:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
