Speedy deletion of National collection of plant pathogenic bacteria

edit
 

A tag has been placed on National collection of plant pathogenic bacteria, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ←Signed:→Mr. E.

Encyclopicity

edit

The long list of bacteria that you added to National Collection of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria is utterly unencyclopedic. You put this list on your own website and link to it from here.

How many incoming links did you create to the article? None. So what is your excuse for remiving the {{orphan}} tag? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
