Speedy deletion nomination of Hotel de France (Le Mans / La Chartre sur le Loir)

Hello Derek Fulk,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hotel de France (Le Mans / La Chartre sur le Loir) for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ujjwal234goel (talk) 16:56, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Hotel de France (Le Mans / La Chartre Sur la Louire), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Hotel de France

If you carry on re-adding this article without it meeting the minimum standards for a Wikipedia article, then the end result is not likely to be an article on the hotel but you being blocked from editing. You've started a draft in your sandbox which I have now moved to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hotel de France (Le Mans / La Chartre Sur la Louire) - I suggest you work on that and bring it to the necessary standard. At the moment it is nowhere near the required standard as it tells the reader virtually nothing about the hotel and is little more than a list of people who have stayed there and where it is in relation to the Le Mans circuit. Have a look at some other articles on hotels to see how they are written, what information they contain and most importantly what has been written about them elsewhere, these independent references are essential to an article being maintained on Wikipedia.

Sandbox

When you created your most recent draft at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Hotel De France (La Chartre-sur-le-Loir) you said that you hoped that it was a sandbox. It wasn't, but I've moved it to User:Derek Fulk/Hotel De France (La Chartre-sur-le-Loir) for you, and removed the stale AFC submission template which was presumably left from a previous version. You can carry on working on it there until you are ready to submit it for formal review. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:37, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I notice, however, that you already have another draft awaiting review at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hotel de France (Le Mans / La Chartre Sur la Louire). It will waste your time, and that of reviewers, to work on more than one draft at a time. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:43, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
