Spam in Siggi's skyr
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Siggi's skyr, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Siggi's skyr is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Siggi's skyr, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Siggi's skyr itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:24, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * you are certainly welcome to repost it as long as you improve it. The content said only that it was one brand of  skyr, which county in NY the milk came from, and who sells it. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory. The information provided is available in many web sites, and in some cases in fuller form. I see from them that it has been known in Iceland as a specific brand, but this was not mentioned in the article, What you need to do is describe the product--and what there is special about this brand that would be important to a reader of an encyclopedia . That's step one--to provide encyclopedic information.  Step two is to omit sales information-and who sells it is exactly the sort of thing to omit. The third step, essential for any article, but certainly for a commerical product, is to have two references, print or online, talking about it to show that other people think it important. They have to be from 3rd party sources unrelated to your business. They have to be published sources--blogs do not count --they have to be edited, published material. . Checking Google, the Observer article about you would be a good source for an article about Siggi, (but see WP:AUTO & WP:COI before you write it)--however, it does not mention the brand of skyr.  The Epicurious blog --a resource I myself use for practical purposes--would not count--anyone can send in materials. If there's no English material, you can use Icelandic, if you provide a translation of the title and the key words.

Please be aware of WP:COI. It is not prohibited to write an article about your own product, but such articles are looked on extremely carefully. If the article is inadequate, someone will surely delete it. Any editor can mark an article for deletion, and any admin can delete. DGG 22:45, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
