Speedy deletion nomination of Horse Races Now[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 Horse Races Now, 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. PhantomTech (talk) 01:27, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: In order for the article about the game to remain on Wikipedia, you must establish that the game is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia by providing references to reliable sources that cover the game. For example, reviews of the game from reputable gaming websites or articles from other news sources like newspapers, magazines, or trade industry magazines would establish the game's notability. Secondly, you will need to rewrite the article in a neutral, non-promotional tone. Your first attempt at writing the article was clearly promotional when it used all capitalized words and multiple exclamation points. Wikipedia articles are not advertising prose for the game. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:37, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

January 2013[edit]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Horse Races Now. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
