Speedy deletion nomination of User:Zavida Coffee


A tag has been placed on User:Zavida Coffee, 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 User:Zavida Coffee 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. Mean as custard (talk) 11:09, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Why
Those pages don't have things like "Our growing commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility is shown through our support of Organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified coffees. From exotic origins, to delectable flavors, coffee is our passion. We invite you to experience the passion by enjoying any one of our freshly roasted, guaranteed quality products." in them. They are written about the companies in a neutral way, not by the company using pure advertising talk. Sorry to be so blunt about it, but there's no way that text could remain in an encyclopaedia. At AboutUs and LinkedIm, or MySpace and Facebook, yes, it would be quite acceptable. Here, the first patroller to see it would tag it 'spam'. I'm not sure why you were able to edit your userpage - user names that appear to represent companies are usually blocked from editing. If you feel that your company would meet WP:CORP (read it...) and that you could find reliable independent sources WP:RS to back this up, let me know and we'll discuss things. You see, not every company gets an article. It's a question of coverage by outside sources, showing notability. That notability is by our definition, not whatever it says in your dictionary. You may get blocked by someone else - if you do, you can ask to be unblocked to get a change of name. Peridon (talk) 18:31, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
