Speedy deletion nomination of USANA Nutritionals


A tag has been placed on USANA Nutritionals, 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 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of USANA Nutritionals and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. 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.  role player 22:06, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

USANA Nutritionals
I understand that [MrKIA11] deleted the "USANA Nutritionals" page due to it appeaing to be advertising (or something to that effect). I am new to posting on Wikipedia and had left it unfinished earlier this afternoon after running into some complications when I had other work to do offline. When I returned to fix the issue and address the needed tag, it was too late and already deleted. After looking at the USANA Wikipedia page, I noticed that there was very little information about the product categories themselves (Nutritionals, Diet & Energy, and Personal Care items). Since hundreds of thousands of people around the world use the USANA products, USANA gets nearly 200,000 google hits every month, and therefore many people may have questions about what these products are, I planned on creating a page to discuss this that others can add to in the future on Wikipedia. As I was just starting to write the content, the information published so far was incomplete.

Please advise me on how to create this page so that it will fit the requirements of Wikipedia.

I understand Wikipedia as being a collaborative accurate on-line encyclopedic resource for all to reference. I am a big fan of Wikipedia and therefore wish to contribute to it in areas that I am interested.

Where I ran into trouble was the tags. I had one the appropriate ones around the content info such as seen on other posts, and after trying to get it to work several times the warning came up that required the tag to be added. I am new to learning the Wikipedia language. It seems similar to html, however the closeout tag was not working. Would you be available to assist me when I have questions regarding items such as this in the future.

Thank you for your assistance. Note: The above content is copied from an email sent from Willeygk to MrKIA11, received 02:24, 16 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I feel that it would be very hard to create that page in a way that it will qualify for inclusion. Even if it were completely rewritten so that it did not sound like an advertisement, the product does establish notability by itself. You state that USANA gets 200,000 hits every month, but are any of those specifically for USANA Nutritionals? I feel that any information regarding any of the USANA products can be included in that page. The above welcoming template has links for creating articles that you might want to check out. You can also try requesting an article for it, or submitting a draft for creation. Both of these options allow other editors to review the article and determine whether or not it falls under the guidelines before it is moved into the main namespace. I have restored your page to User:Willeygk/USANA Nutritionals, but I don't think there is much to salvage from it. I also tweaked it a little to fix the reference tags and other minor formatting. I'll be happy to help with any other questions you have. MrKIA11 (talk) 17:05, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
