Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Iron Palm Tattoos

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 Draft:Iron Palm Tattoos, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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 deleted 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. JeffUK 17:46, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't for promotion. It's my first article but it is meant to immortalize notable events that the company has accomplish. Creating the largest tattoo in the world required them to create new technology and processes for making synthetic skin. Painting the Mural of Colin Kapernick which covered an entire building caused a big stir in the city of Atlanta. Both of these are mentioned in newspapers and etc.

Any world record is notable right? Mrmckoy (talk) 22:05, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your username suggests to me that you have a conflict of interest; if that's the case, the COI rules take precedence over notability. And no, not all world records are 'notable'. There's a world record for the most number of beans eaten with a cocktail stick. The holder of that record does not necessarily get a Wikipedia article! JeffUK 09:25, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff, this isn't a gimmick. These are professionals that created technology and inked the largest tattoo on synthetic skin ever made.

this isn't a burger contest. Please don't compare this to that. It took almost one year. That isn't isnt even a remotely equitable bias. Mrmckoy (talk) 11:47, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you are saying. Please allow me to finish the article before judging completely. This is a worthy history I believe. Mrmckoy (talk) 19:15, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JeffUK hello there. I will comply with all of your rules. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. I will read all of these articles and do my best to comply. Mrmckoy (talk) 16:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
