Speedy deletion nomination of The British School, Alexandria
[edit]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 The British School, Alexandria, 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, product, group, service or person 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Zeusu|c 10:14, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

- Hello @Britishschoolalex. Your article keeps getting deleted because it appears that you wrote it in a promotional manner and/or not regarding Wikipedia's policy regarding a neutral point of view. For inexperienced editors, it is highly recommended that you don't just create an article in the main article space, but instead use the articles for creation ("AFC") process. The AFC process is an excellent tool that will allow you to create and work on your article in a safe environment. You can keep working on it there, have it reviewed, and improve it until it is deemed fit for inclusion on Wikipedia. There, your article will not be deleted as long as you're working on it. Go to the before-mentioned AFC link to get started. Hope that helps. Cheers! ~ | twsx | talkcont | ~ 07:36, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
