User talk:ScottCochrane

Welcome!
Hello, ScottCochrane, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:ScottCochrane, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:ScottCochrane


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:ScottCochrane, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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 do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. — Trey Maturin™ 10:29, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --41.216.201.123 (talk) 11:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC) there are many with the same name Scott Cochrane and the Pretoria description and that I am involved in real estate is what I do. No link to any website or phone number 41.216.201.123 (talk) 11:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC)


 * You may not use Wikipedia to promote/publicize/advertise yourself or your business, for any reason.
 * Wikipedia only includes topics that are notable. There are specific notability criteria for people and businesses that must be satisfied for either of them to be considered worthy of inclusion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
