Speedy deletion nomination of David Morris (jewellery designer)


A tag has been placed on David Morris (jewellery designer), 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, 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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.  ttonyb (talk) 22:21, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

David Morris
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Your newly created page regarding David Morris was tagged for speedy deletion as spam, and I have chosen to delete it under that criteria. While we appreciate all contributions to Wikipedia, in this case the article submitted was heavily biased to the point of being an advertisement, and Wikipedia does not exist for that purpose. I saw your note on the talk page, and I think perhaps there is a misunderstanding- we cannot accept material directly from a company because it is generally biased. Furthermore, it is a bad idea to make articles at a company's request, because that would be considered misuse of Wikipedia. It could also be considered a copyright violation. It is entirely possible that a good article could be written about David Morris, however you would need to do independent research, write your own content, and use sources other than representatives of David Morris. If you have any questions about this or need help, please feel free to contact me by replying here or posting on my talk page and I'd be happy to steer you in the right direction.
