Speedy deletion nomination of User:School Food Matters


A tag has been placed on User:School Food Matters, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

 * Please could I have the content of the page you have deleted? School Food Matters (talk) 16:10, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not delete it. Ask the deleting admin, tho I do not think you should get it since you are obviously only here to promote your group. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:12, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --School Food Matters (talk) 16:05, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

It is a record of a charity's history, activity and also some controversey that is not necessarily favourable to the organisation. It does not express opinion on the organisation's activities, link to its site or request support from readers.

 * I think you confused creating an article with creating an account. You edited your user page, a place for the person sitting at the computer/holding the device to tell about themselves as a Wikipedia editor or user if they wish. It is not article space. Accounts are for individuals only. New accounts cannot directly create articles in article space(without "User:" in the title) and must use Articles for Creation. To be unblocked, please follow the instructions above.
 * Wikipedia articles are not for merely telling about the subject and what it does- that is considered promotional here, you don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something. A Wikipedia article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. If you are associated with the organization, please read about conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 16:12, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking the time to respond.
 * I realise where my error was regarding the User/ article mix up.
 * I was not intending for the page to be promotional and the organisation School Food Matters does not seek customers or sales, it is a charity. I can understand how it could seem to be promotional by Wikipedia standards, and wanted to avoid this. I had looked at pages such as this one to emulate non-promotional entries about charities, and thought I had struck a similar tone.
 * Would it be possible to receive a copy of the content of the deleted page please? School Food Matters (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Beware in using other articles as a model, as those could have problems that you would be unaware of. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those classified as good articles.
 * I will email the text shortly. 331dot (talk) 16:43, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
