Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Markos Vamvakaris Autobiography in English. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

I don't know how to delete the page! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmills89 (talk • contribs) 13:48, 7 January 2016

Only WP:Administrators can delete pages. If you want, you can tag it for speedy deletion (if you created it) with {{db-g7}} Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 14:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Both pages that you've created have already had deletion requested. The db-g7 tag you've added to the page would request an admin should delete the page for you but it's been de-activated by the nowiki tags surrounding it.

Instead of :

Hope that helps. Regards, Bazj (talk) 14:10, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, as you did at Markos Vamvakaris Autobiography in English, you may be blocked from editing. Bazj (talk) 14:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to edit it in a way that makes it more encyclopaedic, I did not remove any speedy deletion notices that I am aware of. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmills89 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 7 January 2016

It was the text {{db-spam|help=off}} at the top of the page. If you use the "Show preview" button when you edit you can check your edit before saving it with the "Save page" button.

I've taken the liberty of re-ordering the edits in this conversation into chronological order to make it possible to follow the thread. :Please sign your edits on talk pages with ~~~~. It helps other users follow the conversation. Bazj (talk) 14:30, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the page now in a way which I think is more encyclopaedic. I see no reason for this page to be deleted now. <Bmills89 (talk) 14:33, 7 January 2016 (UTC)>[reply]

"We are also investigating...",
"people who visit our country",
the only source is the publisher's website,

just to pick 3 examples of the advertising giveaways. The language used throughout is promotional, not encyclopedic, and the fact you can't see it suggests that you have a conflict of interest. Bazj (talk) 14:43, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Markos Vamvakaris Autobiography. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Markos Vamvakaris. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Markos Vamvakaris – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia.
