Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Reader's Digest Asia
A tag has been placed on Reader's Digest Asia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you.  Acroterion  (talk)  02:03, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Indented line Hey I'm trying to represent Reader's Digest Asia and was trying to test how to code in Wiki language. Sorry for the lack of fast response. I understand the guidelines and will put up the articles online as soon as possible.

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.  Acroterion  (talk)  02:05, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Reader's Digest
I'd suggest that you create the article in your userspace at User:Rdasia.facebook/sandbox, where it can be developed properly before it is moved to article space. A plain external link, which was what the article was, will be quickly deleted as having no significant content. Wikipedia is not a list of links, and a contextless link to an outside site is discouraged. I am concerned about your username, as it appears to represent Reader's Digest, which is not permissible by Wikipedia policy. In general, since editing is anonymous, names that replicate organizations may not be used because they either end up promoting the organization or disparaging it. We encounter a number of editors who are in charge of "social media" for their organizations. Using Wikipedia as anything other than an encyclopedia is not permitted - it is not a social media site like Facebook.  Acroterion  (talk)  02:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I noticed the note above indicating that you represent Readers Digest: please read the information on conflict of interest above very carefully. In general, you are discouraged from editing under such circumstances and your account may be blocked as a "role" account.  Acroterion  (talk)  02:32, 27 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey! Yeah I am representing Reader's Digest Asia and not Reader's Digest. Thanks for your tip and yes i will read the conflict of interest very carefully. I'm trying to built up a page to tell the world more about Reader's Digest and will not be promoting any advertisement or products whatsoever. Thanks again for your help. Will be using the sandbox for developmental site first. By the way, the main reason why the name is there is because its using my company's account, and not to promote the sites.
 * "trying to built up a page to tell the world more about Reader's Digest" walks very close to promotion. Since you self-identify as a representative of Readers Digest Asia, you will have to be extremely careful about editing on that subject. Your username alone may cause you to be blocked from editing,as it appears to be a violation of WP:USERNAME. I will not block the account at this time, but others might.
