The article Celestial Windz Harmonic Bizaar-Home of the World's Largest Tuned Musical Windchime has been 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 or service and which 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. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

World's Largest Tuned Musical Windchime
Thanks for contributing to wikipedia. This article has been tagged because it currently reads like a newstory rather than an encylopedia article.

Can you be specific as to the difference?


 * The section I was most concerned about is this one
 * Farbiarz was notified in a formal letter, dated Feb. 9th, 2006, by Laura Hughes of the Guinness World's Records Management Team. The letter stated: "We are pleased to confirm that you have set the new Guinness World Record for "Largest set of windchimes" and a certificate to commemorate this achievement is enclosed. Details of your achievement have been entered into our records as follows: The largest set of wind chimes measured 10.92 m (35 ft 10 in) tall and were made by N. Ranaga Farbiarz (USA) and hung from a tree in Eureka Springs, Arkansas on 4 November 2004. ...we do consider all new records for inclusion in all future Guinness World Records publications and products. Welcome to the very select brand of Guinness World Records holders!"

This tone is too anectodotal, particularly the quoted letter, which might be viewed as extraneous information. I think something like this might work better:


 * Farbiarz was notified via a formal letter, dated Feb. 9th 2006, from the Guiness World's Records Management Team. The letter conveyed the Guiness Team's congratulations upon Farbiarz's achievement of the world record of "Largest set of whindchimes" and was accompanied by a certificate of commemoration.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have made the change. Any other objectionable passages?


 * Thanks for accepting the suggestion! I think content looks great. The next step would be to "wikify" this article.  For example, we should format words such as "Guinness" and "windchime" to link to other wikipedia articles.  Also, we could divide the links below into its own separate section.

I went ahead and implemented these changes, as well as a few more minor copy edits that I felt polished up the article. Also, I wanted to bring to your attention that the link you have at the bottom does not take us to picture and sound of the windchime, as you describe. Can you offer an alternative link?
