Speedy deletion nomination of South African Airways Museum Society

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 South African Airways Museum Society, 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 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Randykitty (talk) 11:27, 30 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of SA Airways Museum Society

edit

I deleted it because of the promotional tone. Wikipedia is neutral and your article was anything but. Before going any further, you should read our conflict of interest guideline, it specifically says "Do not edit articles about yourself, your business, your clients, or your competitors". I realise that this museum is non-profit, but that doesn't matter, you wrote it with a promotional tone as if to try and attract visitors. James086Talk 10:24, 7 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
