The page Dr. Praeger's has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the content of the page appeared to be blatant advertising which only promoted something, and which was unlikely to be suitable for an article (or at best would need a fundamental rewrite). Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion of anything, whether a company, product, group, service, person, religious or political belief, or anything else. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

  • You would need to (1) delete the complete list of products, and (2) get rid of promotional language like "Dr. Praeger perfected the California Veggie Burger" (Wikipedia doesn't vouch for whether the veggie burger is "perfect"). If you'd like to post a draft in your userspace (User:Mmm1993/Dr. Praeger's), I can look at it after you've edited it. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:35, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mmm1993. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Dr. Praeger's, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
