Speedy deletion nomination of Translucent Publishing

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 Translucent Publishing, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, you can place a request here. Gtwfan52 (talk) 19:38, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Notability

Hi. I left you the following not on the page you wrote. I have copied it here just in case the page gets deleted before you see it:

"Existence is not the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. Notability is. See WP:N. The short version of it is that if independent,reliable secondary sources are not talking about it, it does not qualify for an article. The specific criteria for a company can be found at WP:NCORP. Also, please sign talk page messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). Thanks. Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:39, 2 September 2013 (UTC)"

In addition, promotion may not have been your intention when you wrote the article, but the use of adjectives such as "unique" and jargon that says nothing like "ins and outs" make it appear promotional. The biggie is notability, however. If I can be of any assistence feel free to drop me a note on my talk page. Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:44, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

• Fearlessradio, I deleted your article primarily because of the advertising-way it was written (although Gtwfan52's point regarding notability is also important). Besides the language that Gtwfan52 noted above, the article was also written as if directly addressing the reader ("studies impacting your industry"). This is usually a sign that it is trying to promote people to check out the product, rather than just being an encyclopedic article about the subject.
