Speedy deletion nomination of San Jose Taiko

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 San Jose Taiko, 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. TMGtalk 22:18, 18 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

I see at the Teahouse that you disclosed that you work for the organization you wrote about, and noted it at Talk:San Jose Taiko, which is good. However, you didn't quite go far enough. Being a paid editor requires the {{connected contributor (paid)}} template on the article talk page, which explicitly indicates that you received compensation for your editing. I have changed it, although it might be a moot point if the article is deleted as a copyright violation.

If you try again in the future, please do this and also use the {{paid}} template on your user page, User:Romeham. I genuinely believe that you trying to follow the rules, so your efforts are appreciated. Wikipedia is a confusing place with lots of rules, but acting in good faith, getting help from other editors and a bit of persistence pays off. Good luck. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 01:52, 19 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
