Deletion
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Waywardwindfiji, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages: user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. I am One of Many (talk) 07:09, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because Wayward Wind is a classic boat that is built by a single person Jack Mcwilliams for 9 years before she start sailing. The main reason we decided to put the information here in Wikipedia was the family of Jack Mcwilliams (who built the boat single hand), children, grandchildren, extended family, and friends were sending us a lot of email to inquire about the boat so we thought wikipedia will be the right place to provide information about Wayward Wind for people around the world.

Secondly the reason that we choice waywardwindfiji as a user name is because waywardwind was taken. Our intention is to provide people in USA and around the world who have come in contact with Wayward Wind since 1972 to have information. If there is somethings in the content that you would like us to change we will be very happy to do that. We used the temple from some of the schooners listed in Schooner List (travel/charter business or educational boats). We put the information where and what Wayward Wind has been and where she is right now.

We truly believe this page is not promotional, let us know how we can edit it to make it to meet your standard.

Kindest regards, Urji


 * Wikipedia is not a webhosting service or a place for you to post information that you think is useful for people you know. Wikipedia has a criterion for articles called notability, explained here, which basically means that article topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice", to be included in Wikipedia.  This means a topic has to be important or notable to our community of readers, at large, to have an article.  Unless your boat has been the subject of significant coverage in scholarly/academic or news sources, it does not meet our criteria for inclusion.


 * If you would like to find a place to post a web page about your boat so friends and family members can learn about it, Wikipedia isn't the place, but you can try one of the websites listed in Category:Web hosting. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 20:55, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
