- Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Manchester Graduate Internship Programme (MGIP). Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

Speedy deletion nomination of University of Manchester Careers Service
edit
A tag has been placed on University of Manchester Careers Service, 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), 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. Crusio (talk) 10:14, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to University of Manchester Careers Service. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Some advice
editPlease have a look at the links in the "welcome" template at the top of this page and read some of that stuff. After that, you may find it easier to contribute to WP without your edits being challenged constantly... --Crusio (talk) 16:16, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
status and some further advice
editI've deleted the career services article again. This is an encyclopedia. It contains material that people would expect to find in a modern web encyclopedia, which includes articles about subjects of some degree of notability--by which we essentially mean possible interest to those not members of the organization. Many things about a university are notable in this way: the history of the university, the campus, the major academic schools or divisions, the famous people who have been professors or alumni. (And, in the case of a famous university like Manchester, even some of the individual buildings and academic facilities will be individually notable.) But the details of a university's individual student or administrative services, such as an employment service, are of interest only to the students and possibly to the prospective students--material designed for them is properly part of the university web pages, but not part of an encyclopedia, and is considered of promotional value only. The administrator who removed the above article is one of the most experienced administrators here--he is not being idiosyncratic, but merely enforcing the views of the community, which he knows well, as they have been consistently expressed for similar article. Crusio, who commented above, is one of the administrators here who has the most experience and respect with articles on academic topics. I am another with such experience--though because of our backgrounds, Crusio works more with UK and I with US universities.
I see no way that an article on this topic would ever be acceptable--unless, by some chance, this particular student service were so well known that there were multiple references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party non-local independent published reliable sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases). In the article you submitted , the only independent references were general articles about the employment of university graduates in the UK that did not even mention Manchester in the text, just included it along with all other UK universities in their supplementary tables. And the content of the article you submitted reflected this: it contained only advice to students about the services, directions on where to find them, and exhortations to make use of them.
