Speedy deletion nomination of Recycle-IT


A tag has been placed on Recycle-IT, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button will take you to the 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 visit |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mean as custard (talk) 17:01, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

A word to the wise
OK. I didn't delete it. Someone else will have. As it stands, you've no chance. Read WP:NPOV and WP:SPAM. Your intention might not have been to advertise - but that's what you did. 'We', 'incredible', 'genuinely', 'inspirational' - all killers. The outfit sounds as if it might be notable. You must show that it is - see WP:CORP - and prove in reliable independent sources that it it. See WP:RS. No blogs, forums, wikis, Youtube, personal letters, or MySpace, Twitter & Co. Look at other articles. Ones without the big pink box at the top, that is. See how they're written. Remember that this is an encyclopaedia, not a directory. Free to edit, but we're free to delete if things don't fit. Good luck. Peridon (talk) 18:25, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Recycle-IT
I chose not to delete the article. You're on the right track, eliminating "we" and taking out puffery like "amazing". Please continue that (there are still a few "we"s), and add a few more newspaper articles about Recycle-IT. Good luck. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:26, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Next try
If you would like me to recycle it into your userspace for further work, let me know. Find references first, then contact me or Malik - that's two of us admins that think there's a future for the article. (Despite my record of deleting things, we do like to encourage article creation...). Ask for help or advice. I was a bit sharp in my first advice - to get your attention quickly. I'm usually politer than that. Peridon (talk) 17:53, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
