Speedy deletion of Garland insurance
A tag has been placed on Garland insurance, 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 blatant 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.

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 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.

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 09:02, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

No personal attacks? Ya'll make it almost impossible. I've never posted anything on wikipedia and ya'll just keep deleting crap on my first attempt, so you don't think I wouldn't be annoyed frustrated??? DMol certinaly was of no help! If you all want to employ a "god complex" on neophite users, well, I'll certainly blog my experience everywhere about my first attempt on Wikipedia!


 * Since you appear to only be here to promote your company, I strongly suggest that you read the Business' FAQ on what you should and should not do on Wikipedia. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 09:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I see, so now nothing I have to say is substantive....  Wonderful...  This has been a complete waste of going now on 4 hours... thanks for the lack of help like DMol!


 * I'm sorry that your experience with Wikipedia has been so poor. The reason why what you wrote was deleted is because it was advertising for your company, which is not allowed on Wikipedia.  While perhaps the other editors could have explained the situation to you earlier in a nicer way, the articles still would have been deleted.  I hope you take the opportunity to read the FAQ link that I listed on my previous message.  It explains why the articles were deleted. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 09:26, 22 February 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way, it is not necessary to copy your responses to me into the Tim garland usa article as it will just be deleted again. You can leave additional messages to me here and I will eventually read them.  In your last note, you mentioned "customer service and support".  There is no such thing on Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is entirely a volunteer effort so there is no "customer service and support" or "clients to drive away" per se.  See Wikipedia's top level FAQ list if you are interested. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 09:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
