User talk:Yunushasan

The article Yunus Hasan has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 21:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Old Black Bear Brewing Company
I have deleted this article for the reason given above, also because parts of it were copied from the company website, and we cannot accept copied material without a formal copyright release, but most importantly because, as is usually the case where material is copied from websites, the whole tone of the article was promotional - it was the company talking to the reader, explaining what beers they had to sell and why they were wonderful. That was not an encyclopedia article, that was an advertisement. Wikipedia is quite different from sites like Myspace and Facebook where companies write about themselves: it is not for any kind of advertising or promotion, and is extremely resistant to attempts to use it in that way; in order to preserve a neutral point of view, anyone connected with a company is considered to have a WP:Conflict of interest and is discouraged from editing about it.
