Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:NALA (company)

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 Draft:NALA (company), 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 "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.

Request reason:

I would like to appeal the block on the grounds that the post is not an advertisement for NALA. NALA is one of the more prominient startups in Tanzania, has become newsworth recently, and is therefore relevant. If there are parts of the article that you feel are explicitly solisticous, those could be changed. Alas, it would have been constructive to dicuss those issues pre-block. Thanks for your time.

Decline reason:

An article doesn't have to be a straight out advertisement or "solicitous" to be promotional. Merely telling about a company is considered promotional on Wikipedia. The short article you wrote does little more than state that the company exists and only supports its content with press release type sources or brief mentions, neither of which establishes that this company meets the notability guidelines for companies(please review). If you work for this company, you will need to review conflict of interest and paid editing. As you don't feel that you did anything wrong, I am declining this request. 331dot (talk) 08:36, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
