Hello, I'm Boing! said Zebedee. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Manji have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Njavwa Simukoko

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

A tag has been placed on User:Njavwa Simukoko, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — O Fortuna^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 11:48, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. As you did here — O Fortuna^{semper crescis, aut decrescis} 11:57, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (June 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dodger67 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Njavwa Simukoko/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello! Njavwa Simukoko, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing.

Please stop

Hi. You're new here and clearly don't understand how things work, so I'll try to explain things a little. You are not allowed to use Wikipedia to advertise your company - Wikipedia is not a company directory and can not be used in that way. Wikipedia only hosts articles about companies if they meet the minimum notability requirements outlined at WP:NCORP and if that notability is supported by multiple independent reliable sources as described at WP:RS. Also, Wikipedia has some important conflict of interest rules described at WP:COI, which would strongly discourage you from writing about your company even if it were notable. Looking what you have written, I think it is very unlikely that your company does meet the notability requirements, and if you continue to try to write about it (especially in such a clearly promotional style) you are very likely to be blocked from editing. You are very welcome to help us develop our encyclopedia by working in other subject areas, so please do have a read of the links contained in the welcome message, above, to learn your way around.
