A tag has been placed on Whitman Insight Strategies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Whitman Insight Strategies and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
If you believe this company to be notable, then I would advise you to create a new article (possibly in a sandbox) that does not resemble the deleted advertisement in any way. Avoid the marketing jargon, the peacock words and the like. Aim for an impartial, neutral description of the company and what it has done. (Also: if you have any conflict of interest, disclose it up front.) --Orange Mike | Talk 15:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

"[A] groundbreaking approach to branding that draws from the lessons of political campaigning, to develop powerful business solutions"? That's not an article, that's an advertisement. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
