I didn't delete the main article on HoneyRock, just some redirects that led nowhere after the main article was deleted. User:RHaworth deleted the main article under speedy deletion category g11:

"Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company, product, group or service as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion."

HoneyRock Deleted

edit

Just wondering why the article on HoneyRock, the Northwoods Campus of Wheaton College (IL) was deleted by you. It is a very similar listing to several other camps, organizations, and schools that have articles on them. Can you explain this further please or provide suggestions on re-writing? Thanks for your time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Johnv15 (talkcontribs) 16:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC).Reply

  • In fact I did not really delete it either! Deletions happened as part of an history merge. But I restored all the edits and marked the article {{db-spam}}. Cuivienen actually deleted it properly.
On reflection I may have been a bit harsh but I was justifiably annoyed at seeing the article posted four times (learn about #redirect). I suggest you: re-write the article at User:Johnv15/sandbox in a more encyclopedic tone; include at least one 3rd party reference to the camp; raise the matter at deletion review. -- RHaworth 16:20, 13 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
