Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...

The criteria for G11 are:

Main page: Wikipedia:Spam The criteria for G11 are: G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion

This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as encyclopedia articles, rather than advertisements. If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion. Note: Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion. However, "promotion" does not necessarily mean commercial promotion: anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

The page is not meant to be promotional and I tried to adopt a neutral point of view. My aim was to provide the background to the chief executive officer of a UK charity. She is consulted by the UK government and has been given the government award of 'Commander of the British Empire'. I imagine that these indicate her expertise is significant. I believe I should be allowed to revise the article, rather than have it speedily deleted; according to Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, this is preferable to deletion. --MerielGJones (talk) 16:11, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for creating this article, MerielGJones -- I have declined deletion because I agree it does not meet the criteria. Please continue to develop the article as more references from reliable sources (eg national newspapers, books) would contribute towards demonstrating that the subject meets the threshold of notability for inclusion.
