Speedy deletion nomination of Kenny-Whelan & Associates


A tag has been placed on Kenny-Whelan & Associates, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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.  — Francophonie &#38; Androphilie  ( Je vous invite à me parler  ) 12:03, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Slipshaney, I'm Qwyrxian, an admin here at Wikipedia. I did see your note on the talk page, and while I agree that the article was less promotional, it didn't meet the other concerns. First, it was still copied directly off of your company's website, making it a copyright violation. But really, that's not the main problem, because even though we talk copyright violations very seriously, it would have been easy to fix. The real problem is that the article didn't give any indication of why the company was important. In order to have an article on Wikipedia, a company must be notable. Our specific guidelines for companies are found at WP:CORP, but the easiest way to think of it is that the company must have been discussed in detail in multiple, independent, reliable sources. If they haven't been, then they can't have an article. If, however, you believe they have, I can help you work out how to make the article. In general, we recommend (per WP:COI) that people not attempt to make an article on themselves or their employer, but if the company really is notable, I'll help you create it. Just leave me a message on my talk page and let me know what type of sources you have that you think demonstrate notability. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:22, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
