Speedy deletion nomination of YELTEK[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on YELTEK, 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.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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.

Spam[edit]
this....
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

- copied here from this post left on my talk page, to keep thread together
- You denied my edit that i attempted to add to a discovered dead link. The page that I pointed it to was extremely relevant. You also called it spam without explaining in any further. I already understand that the links are no follow.. Provide me with an explanation. After you do so, I will remove my account. I am a business owner / manager and work with hundreds of companies across the nation and have never came across a group of individuals that show so much disrespect and lack of quality moderation. It's funny that I have another account under a different company and very rarely get my edits rejected. With this account it appears that there is some bias.

- Hi! Thanks for talking - that is the essence of what we do here. Whew, lots to talk about. I guess we can focus first on the content, then maybe I can help you understand this place a bit better.
- OK, so the link that was already there, stuck at the top of the reference section, actually had no place there. We don't put external links in that location in any article. And it was just spam advertising the Medelearn company. It wasn't about the Healthcare Industry; it contributed no encyclopedic knowledge. (Our mission here is to provide the public with summaries of accepted knowledge. The mission is described here: WP:NOT - which also describes all the things Wikipedia is not. Please do read that).
- That link was spammed into Wikipedia in this dif, by an IP editor - that was their only contribution to WP per their contribs. They did that just today. Then you came along just a little while later, and changed it to another website that is just as irrelevant to teaching people what the Healthcare Industry is. Your edit was spam also. Please see WP:SPAM.
