Speedy deletion nomination of Bridge by Karishma and Pratyush

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 Bridge by Karishma and Pratyush, 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 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Help request

I want to improve the page so that it conforms with Wikipedia's guidelines. How can I do so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bananadoodle (talk • contribs) 02:31, 6 August 2014‎ (UTC)

Your article was deleted because it was determined to be unambiguous advertising (more details at WP:G11). If you would like to recreate the article, I would strongly recommend going through the article wizard, where your submission won't get deleted if someone thinks it's advertising.

How can I get the material back so that I can improve it?

Actually "unabiguous advertisemenet" is one of the comparatively few speedy deletion criteria that also apply to drafts, though standards for drafts are somewhat relaxed compared to articles. That said, your article's references basically all fell into one of two groups: Those that didn't mention the article's topic, and those that were not reliable or not independent (including social media, bookstores, the publisher and the like). That's not enough to establish that the book is notable enough to be the topic of an article in the first place. You will have to find better sources, such as reviews in literary journals, and summarize what those sources say about the book. The deleted content was unsalvageable; it will be easier to start over from scratch. Huon (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Is there a way that I can take the deletion message from the Web? Bananadoodle (talk) 03:05, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

No. Oversighters may have the ability to purge the deletion log, but that's not done lightly, and I don't see why it should be done here. The chances that someone will actually see the deletion log are very, very slim, though. Huon (talk) 03:26, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
