Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles, as you did to Saint James Historic, San Jose, California. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. You'll need to set up your own web site for self-promotional material. Wikipedia is not for advertising.

A tag has been placed on Saint James Historic, San Jose, California, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Saint James Historic, San Jose, California and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ikluft (talk) 19:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

It didn't take long for an admin to determine that the page was blatant advertising and qualified for speedy deletion. It's gone now. Please don't take this personally - but take these rules seriously. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. For your own content, you need to establish your own web site.
