Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie Talk 13:52, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of ConcertHotels.com
edit
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 ConcertHotels.com, 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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:27, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses. Wikipedia is not the Yellow pages. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:29, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Deleted article
editI've deleted the article, but I will e-mail you a copy of its text so you can work on improving the content. Please do not post this content on Wikipedia before fixing the promotional tone.
There are some concerns with notability but the biggest issue here was that the page was very promotional in tone, as it was full of various WP:BUZZWORDS and other WP:PEACOCK terms and phrases to where it'd have to be completely re-written to meet neutrality guidelines. If you are part of a marketing crew then this can sometimes be easy to overlook since you're used to writing in a promotional tone and terms that are promotional to Wikipedia may not immediately come across as promotional to you. An example of some of the promotional content is the line " With a fun, interactive element, including sound bites for over 130 music genres and sub genres, 100 Years of Rock has attracted huge online support from across the globe."
There is also an issue of notability as almost all of the links on the article were WP:PRIMARY links, meaning links that were released by the website/company or a person/company/website affiliated with them. The Spin article isn't bad as far as notability giving goes, but I wouldn't list Axl Rose's response to the list. That can come across as very, very promotional and also a little superfluous to the article as a whole. It's better to just say that the company created the list and that it exists, then use the Spin article as a source to back this up. Now when it comes to coverage in other sources, make sure that the source isn't just reprinting a press release or relying overly much on the press release. Press releases will always be seen as a primary source regardless of where it is posted. Also be careful with the HuffPo since while their news stories can be useful with notability, they also have a lot of blogs that undergo little to no editorial oversight and would be considered self-published sources that cannot be used to show notability. You also need to be careful of quotes in general since if the website is only mentioned in passing, this would likely make the source a WP:TRIVIAL source regardless of where it is posted. Sometimes brief, trivial mentions can help show notability but only if the mention is stating something overwhelmingly notable, like the website winning a major award.

The article ConcertHotels.com has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Promotional article that has never been more substantial than this. News coverage before cleanup was just the WP:DAILYMAIL and no RSes. WP:BEFORE shows nothing about the site.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

To be fair, this is no different from many pages on Wikipedia such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booking.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:BF81:8200:2468:BEF8:AAE6:1DCF (talk) 12:42, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
