Yesterday.sg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Yesterday.sg, 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 Yesterday.sg 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 independent 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. Eeekster (talk) 01:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Your hangon rationale

edit

You say, when stating the reason why you made the page Yesterday.sg, Firstly, it endeavors to provide yesterday.sg with an increase in exposure (...) Sorry, but if that is your goal, then Wikipedia is not the right place. You must get the increased exposure first and then write the Wikipedia article, as is the case in fact with every encyclopedia. This is true regardless of whether the organization you are writing about is commercial, non-profit, governmental, or whatever else you might think of. For more information, please see Wikipedia policies on notability, conflict of interest, and advertizing. -- Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 03:24, 20 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I am a fairly new wiki user so I do hope for your understanding in this matter. I editted the above-mentioned article for the third time as I firmly believe that it would benefit wiki users whom are interested in Singapore's historical and cultural sites. The aim of this page is NOT solely just to raise awareness about yesterday.sg. Rather, it is to provide an additional avenue for others to learn more about Singapore's historical heritage. We hope that individuals would be able to get a better understanding of Singapore's history through this page and to my understanding, that is what wiki is about; for individuals to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of a subject matter. I would appreciate it if you could enlighten me on the specifics of the page which do not meet wiki's standards and I will do my best to structure it in a way which is acceptable to your administration. Thanks for your understanding.

Decline reason:

What I understand is that you're talking about the article, not about the fact that you reverted more than three times, which is what you're blocked for. In other words, this is about you, not what you wrote. — Daniel Case (talk) 20:06, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Patron of Heritage Awards

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Patron of Heritage Awards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
