Speedy deletion nomination of Pedalite Safety Health and Environment Campaign
A tag has been placed on Pedalite Safety Health and Environment Campaign, 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), 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.

I believed that this article about the SHE campaign was of genuine interest to people. It is a campaign that is becoming more widely known. I would like to review the rules, if I may, to see if I can get it to conform as I still believe it is valid information for Wikipedia.

Dan, I would appreciate any help you can give me here. I am not trying to promote the company but share information about the campaign - how do I edit the article name to take the word Pedalite out ? and would that make any difference anyway ?

(he then commented on the article talk p: As I am unable to find any coverage of this campaign in any online web or news outlets, it is unclear how "widely known" it is becoming. Using Wikipedia to increase that visibility is a violation of Wikipedia's policies. When (and if) the campaign reaches the required level of notability, the article can be recreated to reflect that fact. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC) )


 * As reviewing administrator, I need to tell you Dan is correct. Promotion applies not just to commercial companies. If you are promoting the campaign, that too is promotional. What is needed is an article telling about the campaign. But you would also have to show that it is notable as shown by references to people writing about it, providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.  Giving the reasons why the campaign ought to be important is promotional. Telling the success it has had, & what people have written about it is what is needed. The text of the article also must not have been previously published elsewhere. `    DGG ( talk ) 19:20, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

ok - thanks. I can probably provide some evidence of coverage in the UK, USA and, I think, Asia but probably references to the SHE advocacy campaign, which from what you said may not be enough. I know that there were recently some references because I saw them but will need to look to find them. The SHE campaign was also referenced three weeks ago on Mosgito, on BBC Wales. I understand your comments and therefore if you need to delete this page I understand. I am happy to take guidence to remove any references that you might consider commercial, this posting was genuinely information not an ad and so if it was against policies then I am happy to change it. However, again, I think from what you have said that would also not be enough.
