Speedy deletion nomination of WalletHub
Hello Surfjk,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged WalletHub for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Trivialist (talk) 22:31, 14 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay. I tagged the article for deletion because it seemed excessively promotional. If you can write an article that establishes that WalletHub meets Wikipedia's notability requirements, and the article isn't overly promotional, then it should be fine. Trivialist (talk) 23:41, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

The article WalletHub has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article was about a real person or group of people, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or an organized event, but did 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. Under the section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is actually significant enough for an encyclopedia article, you are free to re-create it, but this time you need to demonstrate that, which is best done by citing to reliable, secondary sources that are entirely unconnected to the topic.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Are you being paid to write this article? NawlinWiki (talk) 18:42, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.   DGG ( talk ) 04:00, 24 September 2015 (UTC) ~

, just wondering if your saw my message on your talk page? I'm not soapboxing or promoting - just thought this would be fun...


 * Sorry, I'm a little behind in getting to things this week. I can see it might not be as clear as I thought. I  based what I said not only on the AfC on walletHub, but on the previously deleted article on it, which certainly did seem promotional, and the deleted afc for  Island Approach, a slogan coined by a related company, an article draft that was highly promotional indeed--praising the method, without any evaluation or inclusion of criticism of what would seem on the face to be an apparently rather complicated and risky system.


 * We judge promotional editing not by intent, but by the rsults. Promotional editing is editing that says what the subject would like to have the public know, as distinct from  encyclopedic editing, that is devoted to giving the public information that it is likely to want to know.  The prevalence of promotional editing on wikipedia, and of promotional writing in the world in general, is so great that it can be very natural for people to fall into this mode of writing --either because seeing so many such articles here  they think is how articles should be written, or because its the only form of writing they're familiar with. It does not necessarily imply a conflict of interest, but, alas,  it very often does.  This is especially the case when an editor write articles about a group of closely related subjects--such as, in your case, a company, its related companies, its president, and its products. If you in fact do not have a conflict of interest, but just happen to know about the company or one of its products and are trying to be complete, it is necessary to be very careful to avoid writing an article that would look like it might do as a web site. Watch how you word things. The simplest first step is to avoid adjectives of praise and similar statements. Also try to be concise: instead of writing "Under Papadimitriou’s guidance, both websites – as well as Papadimitriou himself – have achieved numerous accolades", just describer the accolades. And don't try to include the same awards or accomplishments in multiple articles--unless an award to the company is specifically to him, it doesn't belong in his bio. Avoid business jargon. ~
