Speedy deletion nomination of Entrepreneurship Cell, IIT Hyderabad


A tag has been placed on Entrepreneurship Cell, IIT Hyderabad, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 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. Gurt Posh (talk) 07:31, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Promotional tone and Notability
Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view and is not for promoting anything. Your article's phrases like "perfect platform... galvanizing young minds... the finest of business ideas... " etc. are marketing/PR-speak and not suitable for an encyclopedia - see WP:PEACOCK. One of Wikipedia's core policies is WP:Verifiability - "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be linked to a reliable, published source." When writing for Wikipedia, you need to imagine a hostile critic looking over your shoulder, saying "Who says so? Can you prove it?"

Promotional tone could perhaps be fixed by rewriting. What is more important is the question of notability, Wikipedia's term for the criterion used to decide whether something is of enough general interest to have an article. It is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject found it important enough to write substantial comment about?

Experience shows that organisations like this within a college are not often able to show independent notability, and they are usually better covered by a paragraph in the article about the parent organization. Even there, they should be given a factual description which is neutral and not promotional. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the advice John. I'll make sure to avoid such language in my future articles.--Rijul.bansal (talk) 15:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
