Speedy deletion nomination of Type a Thought


A tag has been placed on Type a Thought, 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 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. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, Wikipedia, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Note that the notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.

An individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. Most of your text was unreferenced. The four refs you gave were Wikipedia, your own website and an interview with your founder, no independent third-party sources as defined above at all.
 * Your text is all about what you sell. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to affiliated sites.
 * Even the most blatant spammers don't usually sink to including a price list
 * Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: usage of a host of therapeutic techniques... a host of courses... a variety of online counselling services that are tailored to suit different situations and needs... trained to be objective, non-judgemental, and always ready to listen... safe spaces where views are expressed freely, without judgment [sic]... Since it's  [sic] inception, Type a Thought has been featured and acknowledged by a host of online blogging portals... host of Indian newspapers — just a sales leaflet


 * You said a psychology venture that I am currently working at. Please provide guidelines about the nature of content to be uploaded to the page so that we can do it. You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. Since you work directly or indirectly for the organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Since you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . Since you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read this important guidance. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:55, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
