Speedy deletion of Buy It Downtown edit

 

A tag has been placed on Buy It Downtown, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Articles designed to publicize non-notable organizations are still advertisements, whether the organization is for-profit or not. The group in question is not notable, so the article was deleted. Wikipedia is not a venue to advertise your organization.--Orange Mike | Talk 14:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
If there's a ChattanoogaWiki, it would definitely be suitable for such a project. But on a global basis, this is just another local downtown improvement project (and I suspect you are wrong about the "revolutionary" nature of the gift card concept). If it ever starts getting attention from the national or international press, that would be different; but the English-language Wikipedia is a planetary project, and we can't have an article on every well-intentioned local, state or even national initiative. No offense to the fine folks of Chattanooga (I'll be there in January myself, for Chattacon, as I am every year). --Orange Mike | Talk 16:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
