Speedy deletion nomination of Travelista


A tag has been placed on Travelista requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Conflict of interest
Hello, TravelistaTeriJohnson. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Travelista, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:32, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I am attempting to make an article for the brand and website www.travelista.tv I'd like to retrieve the deleted materials and if possible, assistance on successfully creating an article on the brand and site and a personal article for co-founder Teri Johnson within the wikipedia guidelines. thank you TravelistaTeriJohnson (talk) 19:54, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The use of Wikipedia for self-promotion is not allowed. Please do not continue to attempt to create articles about yourself or your company. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 19:57, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

This is not a pursuit of self promotion. I am not within the brand or an employee of the company, was it counterproductive to use this username? I simply want to create a professional and unbiased article on the founders and brand. How will it be possible to do this while remaining within wikipedia guidelines?
