Speedy deletion nomination of Hillside World Academy
[edit]Hello Minuteus,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hillside World Academy for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

[edit]Hi, thanks for message. Following its nomination as above, I deleted your article because
- the article was a copyright violation of this page. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. The copied page caries no such disclaimer. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the school, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the school claims or interviewing its management. Your article had no references at all.
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: and continues to uphold the global vision that integrates Eastern and Western values... has always emphasised an education that values... Its unique pedagogy has contributed to significant academic milestones... first place in the ... and has remained in the top three every year thereafter— just spam basically
- We notice... we have created... We had a listing... we are updated the page. — You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject, which you are required to declare on the article's talk page. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your school is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
