Hi, I'm new to editing on Wiki, very strange form of messaging.

Yes, I'm just creating this page, it is for the Charity http://trashhero.org

Is there any way to make the page not public while it is being built?

With the concerns:

- I will be (and others) adding many newspaper links, Trash Hero is in 6 countries across the world and has been featured in many press articles. - Citations will be added as well, wherever needed. - This literally is the first version, I am expecting about min 10 edits before we would think it should be nearly finished.

I realise that Wiki has standards, but this page literally got created 5 mins ago, I think perhaps there should be a way to remove from online till it is ready (there will be soon 3-4 more people editing this page)

Trash Hero article[edit]

Hello, thank you for writing this article! I have a few concerns about it and wanted to discuss them with you:

  • I’m a bit concerned that this company might not be notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article. That link goes to a guide, but basically any coverage of a company on here is supposed to be based on being covered in reliable sources, like newspapers, in the form of full articles and not just things like business listings.
  • A lot of it reads like a press release or promotional copy, not a factual encyclopaedia article.

Are there any extra citations you can add from reliable sources like news articles about this company demonstrating that it's notable? (Those are links to guides explaining this in more detail.) I'm concerned since the article may get deleted otherwise. Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions about this. Blythwood (talk) 20:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)±[reply]

A tag has been placed on Trash Hero, 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.
