G11

Although it may have not been your intent, your article read like an advertisement. On Misplaced Pages, we have a policy in which advertising/spam is subject to on-sight deletion under speedy deletion criterion G11. Please note that articles nominated for deletion are judged on their own merit, and not in comparison to other articles. You are welcome to resubmit your article, but please ensure that the revised text is compliant with the policies and guidelines described at Misplaced Pages:Spam, Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style, Misplaced Pages:Verifiability, Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view, and the Misplaced Pages:General notability guideline; otherwise, you run the risk of having the article deleted again. Once you have resubmitted your article, you may find the Misplaced Pages:Help Desk noticeboard has many editors who are more than willing to give you constructive criticism on your article and/or help edit your article.

G12

For a variety of legal reasons, we cannot accept text that is copied from external sources. You are free to recreate the article, but please ensure that you use nothing but your own words. If you are the owner/author of the text, and are still interested in using the text that was deleted, please see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.

A1

There was not enough context to identify the subject of the article. Before creating the article, ensure that it has enough information to clearly identify what or who the subject is. See Misplaced Pages:Your First Article.

A2

The article was essentially or exactly a duplication of an existing non-English language article on a Wikimedia sister project. While Misplaced Pages articles in other languages are useful resources on the English Misplaced Pages, please translate the article into English before copying it over to this Wiki.

A3

We require that each new Misplaced Pages article contain at least a bare minimum of encyclopedic content. Either the article had no meaningful content at all, or the content was not encyclopedic in nature. You may want to review Misplaced Pages:Your First Article for guidance on how to create Misplaced Pages articles that meet these standards.

This article was deleted because it did not have a credible assertion of the significance of the subject. Note that the "claim to fame" must be credible and does not include personal opinions, local popularity, and obviously hyperbolic storytelling. If you want to recreate this article, please verify that the subject meets the notability criteria and that some indication of why the subject is noteworthy is included in your revision.
