Hello, Sbta, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Slimband, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Slimband edit

 

A tag has been placed on Slimband, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

June 2010 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Slimband. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Claritas § 17:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Adjustable gastric band, you may be blocked from editing. Favonian (talk) 17:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

On the Adjustable gastric band page there is an entry for Swedish Adjustable Gastric Band. You may not know it, but this is a brand of gastic band. I put a listing for another brand of band Slimband. So, why delete mine and not the other entry? Or, why delete any, as these are types of gastic bands? I'm adding to the discussion of this field of medical devices. I want to contest your deletion of my entries as I think your claims are unfounded.

Because the other brand names of gastric band are commonly used as a synonym for "gastric band", whereas you're simply advertising. Regards. Absxxlog (talk) 17:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I added medical history and dates and information about doctors using these devices and procedures and those comments were deleted also.

The Lap-band mentioned in the entry is a brand name http://www.lapbandcanada.ca/index.asp So is the Realize band, also in the entry. http://www.realize.com/dtcf/ Yet, you choose to pick on my entries for no good reason and leave the other brand mentions like they are fine. How is this fair? This is unfair and perhaps it is you who is breaking policy..? Did you do any reasech into this before you flagged my contributions? It doesn't appear you did
