Speedy deletion nomination of ClueJob Escape Rooms in Limassol, Cyprus
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 ClueJob Escape Rooms in Limassol, Cyprus, 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.

editIn regard to the other articles you list, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Many of our nearly 5 million articles are unsatisfactory, but that is not a reason for allowing more. However, those you list differ from yours in having several independent references about their subject.
The problems with your article were well explained by DES at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 379#Article deleted!?, but I will try to explain in more detail. Wikipedia has an important policy called WP:Verifiability, summarised as "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". You make statements like "left hundreds of people stoked & enjoying the mystery of each of their current rooms" and "It had a great success and people loved it" and "people embraced & enjoyed trying something different". You don't quote any source for them, because they are your opinions, but an encyclopedia is not a place to give your opinions. Also, they are promotional, intended to promote the subject, but Wikipedia requires a WP:Neutral point of view and is not for promoting anything.
Also, Wikipedia is quite selective about article subjects. The test for inclusion is called Wikipedia:Notability and requires references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Wikipedia:Notability (summary).
If you want to try again, I suggest that you first collect references to show notability. There is good advice from an experienced user which goes:
"...don't use your own personal knowledge of the subject, and don't cite yourself, your web site, or the subject's web site. Instead, use what is written about the subject by other people, independently, as your sources. Cite those sources in your very first edit. If you don't have such sources, don't write.
If you can't make an article on that basis, it is likely that the subject is not notable enough to be included. In any case, don't try to post an article directly, but use WP:Articles for creation, which will let you make a draft for review by an experienced user. JohnCD (talk) 11:34, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
