User talk:Shoesandbags

Welcome!

Hello, Shoesandbags, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Shoesandbags, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Shoesandbags
A tag has been placed on User:Shoesandbags, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk 'bout it! 16:00, 26 August 2010 (UTC) Please give me further information as to what is the problem with the article or which bits should I rewrite as I can not see why this article should be deleted. I have followed the guidelines of other articles about the same subject such as Matches fashion and Net-A-Porter on wikipedia and of course wikipedias own guidelines. My wording of the article is the same as it appears in publications out of my control. Please advise as to what do I need to change in the article if at all?


 * The article is pretty much nonstop promotional copy rather than a neutral description. For example: "MiMi's greatest talent is a supremely honed buying-eye."  See WP:SPAM.   This is why we discourage people from writing about their own companies - it's hard for someone to be neutral about their own livelihood.  See WP:COI. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:28, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
