A tag has been placed on The Summit on Bluff Mountain, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ≈ The Haunted Angel 20:46, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

The way it was written was highly suggestive of advertising - if you want to display information, you need to keep in mind this is an encyclopedia, and so words such as "we" or "us" should be avoided. This article can explain more about how to edit articles in such a way better then I can, there are links to many pages that will help you avoid some flaws in certain styles of writing. Hope that's a help :) ≈ The Haunted Angel 20:57, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
