Verifiability

I have deleted Howard Jordan Jacobsen as a blatant hoax. You copied the text from James Mackintosh#Professor and changed the name. Please check out Wikipedia:Verifiability, one of Wikipedia's fundamental policies: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". You could also read Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. JohnCD (talk) 21:18, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of SmarTours

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on SmarTours, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CombieTractor talk 18:32, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
