Speedy deletion nomination of Pepperoni's Pizza

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Pepperoni's Pizza requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. John Hallaran 12:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC) I do not understand? I sent you an email in accordance to your advice with the name of the proprietor and their telephone number. And Pepperoni's are unique, they have won the "best of Gwinnett" service award here in Gwinnett county Georgia several times? Their product is as unique as any other pizza vendor out there, (you have them listed?). I was trying to publish unique content and you have deleted it several times over? I am not some childlike spammer who lives in his Parents basement. I have been writing software in this country for over 35 years for some of the largest companies in the world: https://sites.google.com/site/as400solutions/ Perhaps I need to talk to your Supervisor? Why are you wasting my valuable time?

Hercules Gas Engine Company

Hi Hallaran!

I noticed the message you left in the Hercules Gas Engine Company article, so i thought i could just as well pop in and clarify a few things.

One of the requirements of a Wikipedia article is that all the information is stored on Wikipedia itself, and isn't hot linked from external sources. There are various reasons for this: An encyclopedia is a compilation of knowledge on a certain topic, which means that multiple sources must be used for a good quality article. External links are therefor a; always considered to be references for the Wikipedia article only. Another reason as to why Wikipedia does not use external links as article is because of the lack of control of that source - estimates are that anywhere from 5-10% of the links suffer from link rot, which would render an article practically unreadable.

Now, what does that mean for the article you wrote? Before going into that i will give you a short crash-course on the most important rules and guidelines for writing an article. First of all, an article must be notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia, that is, have a certain amount of (historical) importance to document. Google is notable, the butcher on my corner isn't. This notability must be verified trough the use of reliable sources; the reason for this is that it is easy to claim something is important because of fact X, which might never have occurred!

Besides the rules i quoted now there are quite a few more, but you will see those eventually - some apply only to a certain topic area such as biographies. Before anything else it is important to Be Bold! (But carefull) when editing. Nothing can ever truely go wrong, and in case it does there are plenty of people around that can either correct, or help correct it. Perhaps the only guideline i should mention is that an article may not be a literal copy from an external source due to copyright issues.

As for the article: It means that the least an article must contain is: Context (What is the article about), Notability (Why is it important) and Verifiability (Is there a reliable source for this information). I edited the article a bit to create a so called WP:STUB - this is a (very) short article that lies down little more then the basics for a user to understand the subject in case he or she reads the article.

I hope you don't mind the length of this comment, but i you might like some start up information besides the regular welcome template. So all i say now is, Welcome to Wikipedia, glad to have you around. In case you have any questions or need some assistance feel free to contact me. Alternatively you can ask a question at the help desk - which might be preferable as there are more people helping there then on my personal talk page. :) Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 18:38, 24 October 2009 (UTC) =====================================================================================VVVVVVVVVVVVV http://archives.hcea.net/index.php?p=collections/findingaid&id=263&q=&rootcontentid=10413#id10413 Please see records related to the patent of the Jaeger engine,(above).

This is an effort to document history. Here is proof the Clinton engine I have submitted existed, it was one of the products the Clinton Engine company did manufacture:

Speedy deletion nomination of Pepperoni's Pizza

A tag has been placed on Pepperoni's Pizza requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion,

{{hangon}}because the article appears to be a clear 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 {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A tag has been placed on Pepperoni's Pizza, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

October 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:15, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you.

Why Pepperoni's Pizza was deleted

Hello Hallaran. I thought I'd let you know a bit more about why the page was deleted.

Firstly, your notice on the article's talk page wouldn't have satisfied the copyright concern: you'd have needed to place a permission notice on the original site (the one that this one copyviolated), or to have sent an email to the permissions team - this page has the details).
In any case, your page met two other speedy deletion criteria: WP:CSD#A7, because it did not assert why this particular pizza restaurant is distinctively important; and WP:CSD#G11, because it was unambiguously promotional of the restaurant. Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, is not a suitable place to promote a business; you may wish to look at this list of alternative outlets, which includes business listings sites. Gonzonoir (talk) 12:26, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Travelbird (talk) 12:46, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Pepperoni's Pizza

A tag has been placed on Pepperoni's Pizza requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Last Warning

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.

The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Travelbird (talk) 12:48, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Advice

Simply recreating the article this way is not going to help, and may result in the title being salted, so no page by that name can be created. (As others have noted, it could also get you blocked.) To reiterate:

Wikipedia is not a suitable place to promote a company.
As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia has inclusion requirements which this restaurant does not appear to meet - at present the article doesn't even make any claim about why this restaurant is particularly important.
There is a procedure for donating copyright material, set out at WP:IOWN. Material currently under copyright *cannot* be used, even if you say that you represent the copyright holder.

If there's something here you don't understand, feel free to ask. Gonzonoir (talk) 12:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
