Speedy deletion nomination of Home Field Sports Grill edit

 

A tag has been placed on Home Field Sports Grill, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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.

Wikipedia isn't the place to push a cause edit

Please keep in mind Wikipedia's policy requiring a neutral points of view in all articles when editing. Please do not use Wikipedia to fight the Home Field battle, as this simply isn't the place. As you can see, editors who have nothing to do with the issue will take action on their own to stop promotion of a cause. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 07:54, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

The edits in question look like blatant marketing hype promoting a group or cause. Hype has no place in an encyclopedia article. Please also read Wikipedia's guidelines regarding conflict of interest. I make this suggestions since experience has taught me that editors adding hype to an article tend to have a significant conflict of interest. Rklawton (talk) 16:07, 31 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Whether the information is true or untrue is irrelevant in this case. The deleted information is written to push one particular side of an issue. Wikipedia policy specifically prohibits material in articles which promotes anything, be it a person, business, cause, whatever. Wikipedia is not a place to fight partisan battles; an inordinate amount of time and effort goes into enforcing this policy, especially on controversial subjects like political figures. That's also the reason the new article about Home Field itself was quickly deleted (by a different administrator) — it was used to promote the business and/or the cause of its reinstatement, which violates Wikipedia policy.
Because of my proximity to the situation, I am also trying to get another Wikipedia administrator to keep a closer watch on the city article and any others involved with this controversy. I really, really don't want to take sides in this issue for professional and personal reasons, plus my time is very limited right now. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
