The Word Ho Chi Minh City

Hi Yellow Monkey,

I put up a page called 'The Word Ho Chi Minh City' and you deleted it with no explanation.

For future reference, could you let me know why?

Thanks!

Basically, the article is written in the style of an advertisement. Also it does not appear to be notable WP:N. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 04:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow Monkey,

Thanks for your response.

Is it possible to see the page again so that I can edit it.

As for being notable, as far as I can see those sources are good. Could you explain why they're not?

Thanks for your help.

Sure I'll get it for you. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 07:54, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it to User:Labyrinth23/The Word Ho Chi Minh City. The main problem is that the references have to be independent, not it's own website, and the article has to be written properly, not like an advert with information on how to subcribe etc. YellowMonkey (bananabucket) 08:00, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow Monkey, I've updated the article - should sound less like an advertisement now. However, it's going to take a bit of time to work on the links / references.

Thanks for your help!
