Speedy deletion nomination of OTA Insight 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 OTA Insight requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator. --Pontificalibus 12:40, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
Thankyou for taking time to review the block, Yamla, First of all, I have not been paid to create the page. I am writing a thesis on this company to find ways to make Rate Shopping within Revenue Management in the Hospitality Industry more known and talked about as part of automation within businesses. When I was in University the lack of information on Wikipedia always frustrated me. I am trying to contribute and add pages and terms, companies, (just like STR, another hospitality benchmarking company) on Wikipedia. I believe this is why users can add to Wikipedia, to create what is missing, in the process, I copied the writing style from the STR page to assure it would not come across as a commercial piece, which in my opinion it did not, it is a factual informational article about a company that has big impact on automation, and rate shopping within the industry (please note I did not mention that on the page to avoid making it promotional), this is a company that people search for (me and my friends at UNI included) and Wikipedia is lacking the information. All websites and references used came from other articles on the web, not from their own site either (OTA Insights' website). So please again, tell me how exactly I broke any violations, when A I am not paid for the piece, B The only relation I have is that this is part of a University thesis and C, there is no promotional writing and only factual information from outside sources written in the exact same style as another Wikipedia Page (STR)?

You do not appear to be being upfront about your relationship with OTA Insight. Marketing internships are regarded as a form of paid editing. Yunshui 雲水 15:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
it's an unpaid internship (so are 90% of European internships) to do research for my thesis, I am not sure how I am not upfront about this, or how I can be more upfront about this. Instead of googling my LinkedIn page, perhaps address my actual arguments mentioned. I personally think this is a big mistake on Wikipedias behalf especially considering, I am being policed, based on assumptions and no true facts. The facts are that the page isn't written in a promotional way see; "though this is less clear", as the style was copied from another Wikipedia Page. Wikipedia has 0 on rate shoppers nor Revenue Insight about the hospitality industry. I am having an unpaid internship to research the awareness online about the automation of Revenue Management, even though my internship is unpaid and my actions are for thesis research rather than the company itself, it shouldn't matter, the article is non-bias and purely informational about a topic, a branch, that Wikipedia is severely lacking information about, which will continue this way due to the fact that I am not being heard and there's people on this platform too busy "policing" rather than actually looking into the block and reason behind it.Lillylauren (talk) 15:16, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Please inform OTA Insight that they'll need to find an alternative venue for promoting themselves. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:09, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Read the policy. Unpaid internships are specifically included. You were deliberately evasive about revealing your relationship with the company - indeed, I had to spell it out before you were willing to 'fess up - and you were adding blatantly promotional content about them. If you think that was "non-bias and purely informational" then congratulations; you will do brilliantly in your chosen career in marketing, but you will never be able to write content for Wikipedia.
