Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Signal (cigarettes)


A tag has been placed on Draft:Signal (cigarettes), 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

We're adding a business that has been active since 2006 and all information was sourced and accurate, not promotion or advertising. TMG13655 (talk) 17:26, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Everything you've done so far has been in violation of WP:PROMO and likely WP:COI as well. It's not relevant that the business has been active since 2006. Please use your own website to promote these businesses. --Yamla (talk) 17:29, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The template used was sourced from many Wikipedia pages that used similar attribution and information within the tobacco industry. All information is sourced from first-rate news sources and does not contain any advertising or promotional material. Refer to Grand River Enterprises and other cigarette companies as examples. No violation of WP:PROMO or WP: COI exists. TMG13655 (talk) 17:34, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:OSE. Not all articles are good models for future ones. Star   Mississippi  17:47, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Then those articles that don't meet today's standards should be deleted, as well. A rolling standard makes it difficult, when they're based on interpretations, to have a page approved. If I mislabeled the page, that was my mistake. But the article does meet the standards established by Wiki. TMG13655 (talk) 18:01, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * And perhaps someone will Multiple editors have said it does not meet the standards. GRE was created long before the AfC process. If Signal, Ohserase Manufacturing or any others meet WP:ORG, someone unconnected with them will write about them. You say you have no conflict of interest, but you seem persistent in having these subjects on Wikipedia which is quite a disconnect. If you're going to write about something else, you may be unblocked at another admin's discretion, but not to continue to write about cigarette companies Star   Mississippi  18:25, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Your logic does not make sense, just because it was created long before the process, it's still subject to today's standards. Comparing apples to oranges. I write about these because they're relevant and applicable. Apply the rules evenly, because both articles met all guidelines and still won't be allowed. TMG13655 (talk) 20:16, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * When it was created just meant it was never "approved", it just existed, which is different to how new users create articles today. You'll see that I nominated it for deletion because it does not meet the standards. Thanks for flagging it Star   Mississippi  23:22, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
 * The other page that should be considered is the Seneca (cigarette) page because it was created, but never approved. TMG13655 (talk) 21:15, 2 March 2023 (UTC)



Hello, TMG13655. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created User:TMG13655 has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject  and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is  here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE  and on IRC chat  Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

User pages and User talk pages are intended only to assist collegiality among users. They are not to be used as a soapbox for writings not connected with the editorial process on Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and Nor are user pages intended to host articles, CV's/resumés or lengthy autobiographies. Wikipedia is not a promotional venue or a place to post ads. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia ~ subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. For article creation, Please use WP:AfC and/or request help at the TEAHOUSE. You can also seek help via IRC chat.
