Speedy deletion nomination of Wealthminder
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 Wealthminder, 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 "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.

I understand that Wikipedia is viewed by many people, who aren't familiar with the site's editorial guidelines and viewpoint, as a malleable promotional tool. I see that you haven't ever done anything else on the site, and that you're a named executive of the subject company of this article, and I understand that you're not happy that I marked the article for deletion as non-noteworthy and non-encyclopedic. (For what it's worth, I'm a professional in my mid-forties who used to live in northern Virginia—it may not be much, but I'm not some overseas university student who doesn't know how the American business world operates—I'm trying to bear with you!) This isn't an easily mastered portal under any circumstances, but it is assiduously devoted to keeping out public-relations-type antifactualism. I'm kindly recommending that you please take a bit of time over the weekend and read WP:ISNOT, as a first step towards understanding why this kind of article submission engenders a reflexive level of deletionism among even content-inclusive Wikipedia editors. I also ask you to spend a couple of hours just reading Wikipedia, period, about Star Wars characters or Japanese cuisine or Steely Dan songs or something amusing to you, and seeing what longstanding, useful articles LOOK like. My friend, Wealthminder looks like a PR person wrote it, and that, in Wikipedia-world, means it is not to be trusted. Wikipedia aims NOT to embrace or propagate business-speak.
As a final note, please take into account WP:POV and the notion that you're clearly a principal of this company and should at a minimum disclose your involvement on your user page.
I know Wikipedia is a significant point of departure for people online looking for information regarding all kinds of subjects, and that it's frustrating that one significant notion of the site is that those subjects shouldn't have any degree of control over their own presentation, but that's viewed as an enormous positive by the people who spend a lot of time volunteering their services on the site.
All the best in 2016. Julietdeltalima (talk) 22:25, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
