Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but in this recent edit you removed a speedy deletion tag from Tradecraft Builders LLC, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tradecraft Builders - Seattle


A tag has been placed on Tradecraft Builders - Seattle, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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, you can place a request here. TheLongTone (talk) 02:09, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. The purpose of WP is not to provide recognition to major builders or anyone else. The purpose of WP is to write an encyclopedia about subject that will be notable to an international audience. The requirements for notability of companies are at WP:CORP.

But that;s not the primary reason it was deleted.It was deleted as an advertisement. It did not provide information about the company for the general reader who may have come across the name and wanted some information, but was directly addressed to the prospective customer: e.g. "The company will provide a bespoke portfolio based on your potential project, due to the sensitive privacy nature of their clients." This sort of thing belongs on your web page.

And it had content like: "We always 'do the right thing' and act with the utmost integrity in every situation. This helps us build lasting relationships with clients, sub-contractors, vendors, and community partners." and so on. This sort of thing belongs nowhere--it isn;t even an effective advertisement--what firm of builders would say anything else?  DGG ( talk ) 02:44, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
