You might prefer to write the article in your userspace until it is ready; somewhere like User:S0504280/Octagon UK, where it won't be so prone to being speedily deleted. Marasmusine (talk) 14:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Octagon UK

A tag has been placed on Octagon UK 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 or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

A tag has been placed on Octagon Worldwide, 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 which 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 Octagon Worldwide 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 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. MKoltnow 15:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Regarding your note on my talk page concerning why some articles exist and others don't: Remember that Wikipedia is not a place to promote a business. Your articles read like advertising copy so they were sent to the bin. There's a tip higher up on your page: You can create a user subpage as a place to write this article. You could try shopping other experienced users for their opinion on it before you try sending it to the main article space again. Read some of those other articles: you'll find they sound like neutral encyclopaedia articles rather than press releases or advertising. Hope this is useful. This is a great project, but it's really not a place for advertising or self-promotion. Read some of these links listed in blue. They point to important policies or guidelines. Happy editing.

Your question

Hi there, First of all i have tagged the talk page you created because there is no corresponding article, next time if you have a question it would be best to place it at the Wikipedia:New contributors' help page. In relation to your question yes it can be retrieved by asking an admin, one i know particularly well is User:Graham87 and he is willing to provide you with the information, if you ask politely:) Here and just click the new section tab at the top. Hope that helps Roadrunnerz45 ^{(talk 2 me)} 10:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The page in question was deleted. The user was asking for a copy of the deleted text. S0504280, I have emailed you a copy of the deleted text. Please do NOT post it on the English Wikipedia as it would be immediately deleted under CSD G4. --B (talk) 12:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I've restored it and moved it to User:S0504280/Octagon Worldwide where you can work on the article. Hope this helps, Graham87 14:27, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Octagon Worldwide

I've just updated the Octagon Worldwide entry that was deleted previously which is now at User:S0504280/Octagon Worldwide. Really just wanted some helpful advice as I'm trying to avoid having the entry removed again. I've sharpened up the copy to remove all advertising and make it just factual. Can you piossibly have a look and advise me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaimebakr (talk • contribs) 14:32, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
