Speedy deletion nomination of A.G. Leventis Nigeria Plc

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on A.G. Leventis Nigeria Plc, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 acceptable page. 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 page 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 page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mean as custard (talk) 09:55, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia

I think you are mistaking what Wikipedia is and what it isn't. Wikipedia is not social media or a directory where anyone can have a page. It is an encyclopaedia. Not every person or company will get an article here. For companies, you need to read WP:CORP which is our policy on notability for companies. Then read WP:RS about the reliable AND independent sources you need to provide to prove the notability. I have deleted the article mainly because you did not show any notability, but Mean as Custard was correct in tagging for advertising or promotion. We do not want articles that say things like "BloggsCo is a company in Houston that makes widgets. For more info please visit bloggsco.bix.br". That lookse like a way of getting people to BloggsCo's website - and that is promotion. If we have an article about a company, it must tell about the company (without being promotional), it must show that the company is worthy of a place in an encyclopaedia, and it must be referenced outside the company website. Sometimes articles slip through, or there are articles about companies in the same line that do pass our policies. - please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. We catch up with the ones that don't belong sooner or later. Peridon (talk) 12:28, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
