Speedy deletion nomination of User:Kalamazoo Astronomical 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 User:Kalamazoo Astronomical 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Puffin Let's talk! 19:17, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I noticed that your username (Kalamazoo Astronomical Society) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is a promotional username. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. Puffin Let's talk! 19:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you. Contested deletion
editThis page is not unambiguously promotional, because... This is not a "for profit" organization; it is an historic scientific educational organization with both newsworthy and noteworthy attributes. The organization advertises in other ways. --Kalamazoo Astronomical Society (talk) 19:25, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- "To discover more, visit..." is promotion. We aren't concerned whether an organisation is charity, non-profit, corner shop or multinational, or a church or knitting circle. Promotion is promotion, and is not allowed on Wikipedia. Peridon (talk) 20:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
