Speedy deletion nomination of The national theatre of the world

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 The national theatre of the world 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 person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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. Falcon8765 (TALK) 18:18, 10 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Deletion

edit

You may wish to contact RHaworth concerning the deletion, since posting a statement or question in article space isn't an appropriate way to discuss a deletion. Please read WP:NOTE, since the article was deleted on grounds of notability. Notability is asserted and substantiated by reference to multiple instances of coverage in independent media. In addition, you have a conflict of interest: please review WP:COI. Wikipedia is not to be used as a means of finding wider exposure: Wikipedia documents pre-existing exposure. You might want to see further guidance at WP:YFA. Acroterion (talk) 18:17, 11 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Note also that Wikipedia is not here to promote your noble cause. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:19, 11 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Montroseworld78) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

  1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
  2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is The national theatre of the world. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:18, 11 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

The article was deleted not because of the URL, but because of material taken from the linked site. The text of the article, at the time it was deleted, had been copied from the Theatre's website. Since the website does not display a Creative Commons or similar free license, the text was deleted as a copyright infringement. —C.Fred (talk) 18:47, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
