Revision as of 05:41, 22 August 2011

This article may meet Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion for the following reasons:
  • as an article about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organized event that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. See CSD A7.
  • because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.
The page may be deleted under any criterion that is valid. Multiple+reasons%3A+speedy+deletion+criteria+%5B%5BWP%3AA7%7CA7%5D%5D%2C+%5B%5BWP%3AG11%7CG11%5D%5DNA
