User talk:West Island College Calgary

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:West Island College Calgary, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user 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 edit this 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. | Uncle Milty | talk | 20:29, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the content being provided is entirely informational in nature.

As far as I can see, that's not the case; it is entirely promotional in nature and written in an advertising style. Here are a few typical phrases: "West Island College Calgary is a university-preparatory school that encourages respect, responsibility and citizenship"… "WIC students are ready for the challenges and opportunities life presents them." I frankly don't understand how you can call that "entirely informational in nature". You must be using the word "informational" in a different sense than Wikipedia does, compare the policy Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. I have deleted the page. Please also note the problem with your username, see below. Bishonen | talk 21:38, 5 November 2015 (UTC).
