Speedy deletion nomination of Lawrence George Newhouse

Hello Quest101,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lawrence George Newhouse 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.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. LouiseS1979 (talk) 20:41, 27 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review, however I feel the article is not promotional. This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...It is a biography of a prominent person who established (with his wife) not only a well-known institution throughout the region of Southern California, but in Western Europe as well. He was an important figure who contributed significantly to the spiritual teaching and welfare of persons throughout the United States and Canada.

The article does not promote any commercial interest whatsoever, in fact purposely only mentions the subject matter of the books he published--not any of their titles in order to specifically NOT promote them.

Hi - I've replied to you on my talk page. Basically, your article doesn't have to be written about a commercial enterprise to be promotional. You use one specific source a lot - if the person is well-known, then there will probably be plenty of other material written about them in a neutral point of view to create an article about them. If you want to use WP:Articles for Creation, then you'll be able to get help and feedback from other experienced editros before the article goes live.

Thank you....I will try that.
