Speedy deletion of Nonsense London
edit
A tag has been placed on Nonsense London requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

- PR is not a source of references. References have to be from independent sources, and also there has to be a claim of notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:22, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- I did a search using Google, and found that most of the hits were of the for "nonsense, London" nothing to do with the company. The sources have to be reliable, and this excludes blogs. Also marketing journals carrying a press release are not independent. You will have to find a reference that decided to write about "Nonsense London" themselves with no payment involved. If you like you can develop this on a subpage at: User:RobNonsense/Nonsense London. I can restore the previously written article to this place if you ask.
Hi Graeme. I would like to work on our claim of notability. There are more references to Nonsense London out there that I intend to add. If you restore the page to the location you mention, I will remove the links to blogs (I fully understand you can't be sure these are reliable... although am sure the writers may have an issue with that!). However, I would like to point out that NONE of the references on marketing journals are paid for (not least because we feel that would be a waste of money!) - every one referenced, inc. CNN, and ABCNews covered our campaigns because they felt them newsworthy. So, I would like to be allowed to leave those in. Is that possible? I also have more; from TechCrunch, BBC etc to add. RobNonsense (talk) 10:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hi CNN and ABCNews would be fine. SO the ones you suggest are the kind we need. I will restore shortly. I will bring it back to User:RobNonsense/Nonsense London, not the talk page as I suggested before. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Nonsense London has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bflickr\.com/(?:photos|groups|search)\b (links: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nonsenselondon, http://www.flickr.com/photos/nonsenselondon (redirect from http://www.flickr.com/photos/nonsenselondon)). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:RobNonsense/Nonsense London, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages: user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.
If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 14:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
