Speedy deletion nomination of Mustard Seed Academy edit
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Mustard Seed Academy, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Mustard Seed Academy and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Acabashi (talk) 17:13, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
The article Mustard Seed Academy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Promotional article about a private school with no indication of notability.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- @Mccapra:Thank you for doing this. This promo-spam has been around since I unsuccessfully Speedied it for such in 2011 on the day it was created... nothing in the article has changed since then. It's difficult to know exactly what this 'outfit' adds up to. There are a number of entities called 'Mustard Seed Academies' worldwide, but I can't find any link between them or any significant viable secondary sources, or any overarching organization, which, if found, might be eligible for an article. If this fails yet again, it could be a good candidate for AFD. Thanks again. Acabashi (talk) 12:41, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- I see that your PROD has been removed, so AFD could be appropriate. I have flushed out the blather from the article, but it still doesn't amount to much. It is also interesting to note that this school was deleted for non-notability on Japanese Wikipedia... see https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:削除依頼/マスタードシードアカデミー (you can use Google Translate or the better DeepL translator). I have now used the MSA Japanese character spelling with a Google search and translated... MSA has its own page on a number of social media sites, and is mentioned in public blogs, but I can find no Japanese language review sources that are independent, significant or reliable.
