[edit] Robin Good, Master New Media

A tag has been placed on Robin Good, Master New Media, 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, service or person and 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. Realkyhick 05:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

The article had all the appearance of a news release written by the subject's PR firm, if not outright advertising. As a newspaper reporter and editor myself (currently with The Birmingham News), I've seen my share of news releases, most of which end up in the trash. The article also qualified for speedy deletion because the subject did not meet Wikipedia notability standards. I must point out that I simply tagged the article as meting speedy-deletion criteria; an administrator must agree with my assessment and actually delete the article, or may decide that the article does not meet the criteria and remove the message.
