Speedy deletion nomination of Mehnga


A tag has been placed on Mehnga, 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 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Reply to your message on Talk:Mehnga
What you wrote was extremely promotional: "known for his skills in online marketing... mehnga.com seems to be a reliable platform for buyers as well as sellers... such enormous online world experiences... a better amazing experience to a greater mass". That is an advertisement, not an encyclopedia article, and anything like that is deleted from Wikipedia at sight.

An encyclopedia article should contain no opinions, no glowing adjectives, only plain facts, neutrally stated and cited to reliable sources.

Also, Wikipedia is not a business listing directory, and does not expect to have articles about every company that exists. The test for inclusion is called Notability and 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 not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about?

As this company only started business this month, it is very unlikely that they have yet attracted enough independent comment to qualify. User:Mehnga already tried to post an article a few days ago, but Wikipedia is not here to provide publicity for start-ups; it does not cover the "up and coming", only those who have already arrived.

There is good advice at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 16:38, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
