Speedy deletion of Gallup and Robinson, Inc.

A tag has been placed on Gallup and Robinson, Inc., 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 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Triwbe (talk) 18:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Help

How do I make this entry be more encyclopedic? 24Research (talk) 18:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Hi,

1. I cannot get back you old page, and admin has deleted and I I cannot get it back.
2. Start reading the guides above especially in avoiding WP:SPAM but using verifiability.
3. work on a local page under your own area, I created a page for you User:24Research/Sandbox where you can put pretty much what you want.
4. work on your page and when you want more help, give me a call.

Also the {{helpme}} should be placed without the <nowiki></nowiki> markers

If you're talking about Gallup and Robinson, Inc., I don't think you can make it encyclopedic. The tone of the deleted article was blatantly promotional, and that's always a problem around here. I believe that probably all of this information can simply be incorporated into the existing Gallup Organization and/or George Gallup articles. If you honestly believe that there's enough separate information to make an article about them, then follow the link in the message above, to the How to write a great article guidelines. Read this article first, though. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
