Speedy deletion nomination of Collier and McKeel


A tag has been placed on Collier and McKeel, 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/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Public relations
Please don't use Wikipedia for advertising. Appropriate encyclopedic material is welcome, but Wikipedia doesn't accept advertising. Also, you can't copy and paste copyrighted content, particularly promotional copyrighted content, into the encyclopedia, which accepts only material that can be published under the Creative Commons copyleft. Since your username implies that you're doing public relations work, please review WP:COI for users with a conflict of interest.  Acroterion   (talk)   15:46, 25 June 2012 (UTC)


 * May I assume you're associated with Sheridan Public Relations? Please be aware that accounts representing organizations are not permitted: only an individual may have an account, and their username must not imply that the account speaks for a company: i.e., "Exxon" is not a permitted username.

Speedy deletion nomination of Collier and mckeel


A tag has been placed on Collier and mckeel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you.

 * I have not enabled account creation, since I would appreciate some feedback concerning your willingness to work within Wikipedia copyright and advertising policy before allowing account creation or name change.  Acroterion   (talk)   16:24, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
