Hi - can you explain what you're doing with the list of businesses in Edenfield you've been editing? I don't want to come across as unsupportive of a new user, but I don't understand what benefit a list of businesses and their addrdsses is to the project. Wikipedia isn't a business directory, we don't tend to provide contract information of that sort. If you can shed any light on what you plan to do with it, bearing our user page guidelines in mind, I'd appreciate it. Thanks GirthSummit (blether) 17:53, 14 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Well basically i'm working on citations for several businesses. I've seen pages such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nsetac which has a list on it. It seems to be since 2007. What am I missing? Thanks.

Can you expand on that - what do you mean by a citation for a business? Do you mean articles? These don't look like the sort of business that would meet our guidelines for notability of companies,so I'm not confident that articles could successfully be written about them. Basically, I'm concerned because of your original user page, which mentioned that you help companies raise their Web profile. That is fundamentally not what Wikipedia is for. What is yout ultimate goal here? GirthSummit (blether) 18:44, 14 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Hydrafacial

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 Draft:Hydrafacial, 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.

Advertising

edit

Hi - we already discussed the fact that Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion. I have given you lots of useful links to help you get started with editing. The draft mentioned above is an out-and-out advert, which is entirely unacceptable. Please take the time to actually read through the links I've given you if you want to learn how to edit - continuing to write promotional articles will probably lead to your account being blocked from editing.
