The article Scott Gallacher has been or soon will be deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. If/when he ever appears for the first team, feel free to repost the article. NawlinWiki 12:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Deleted page "Espresso Essential Scotland"
A page you created, or image you uploaded, Espresso Essential Scotland, has been deleted in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets the one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:
- Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.
Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy.

Also, I wish to ask how you allow articles such as Kwik-Fit or Asda to remain, as I believe that is a company, isn't it? I wish you to take my comments on board and please reply me with an answer, because I am very annoyed and angry!
Espresso Essential Scotland is the Scottish-based franchise of worldwide coffee company Espresso Essential. The head office is in Glasgow, and the coffee is great. It is also unique coffee, as it in 99% fat free! Look out for Espresso Essential adverts coming soon!

Yes, you were trying to promote a company. I think "Look out for Espresso Essential adverts coming soon!" is conclusive evidence of that. The
Very well, I shall try to explain in a little more detail. The following policies and guidelines are all applicable to this situation in one way or another:
- neutral point of viewpolicy, which states that articles should not be biased, either in favour of or against their subject.
- no advertisingpolicy.
- notability, which is required of all articles about companies or corporations, by asserting the importance or significance of the subject. Note that while the subject itself may very well be notable, that means nothing unless an assertion of notablility is actually provided in the article itself.
- notability guidelines for companies and corporations. Again, while the subject of the article may meet one or more of these criteria, unless this is asserted in the article the article does not satisfy the guideline.
- cite any sourcesfor the claims provided. Citing sources is essential in an encyclopediaic article as it allows readers and other editors to check that the information is correct.
- reliable sources, as it links only to the company's own website. This is not a reliable source as it is directly controlled by the subject of the article. An ideal reliable source would be an independently published work of some description, whether a book, a magazine article, a newspaper story, an online publication, or something else.
- verifiable. Readers and editors have no way of knowing whether the statements you make in the article are true or false, without some way to check them.
- What Wikipedia is not: Wikipedia is commonly mistaken, and misused, for a number of things which it is not. You may find it useful to review the list of things on this page.
- Ownership: You do not own your contributions; the Wikimedia Foundation does, as by submitting them you released them under a free license. When you go to the edit page you are presented with a message that reads, "Your contributions will be released under the GFDL." Further down you can also find the message, "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it". "Merciless editing" covers anything up to and including deletion; you agreed when you submitted your content to allow anyone – anyone in the world – to do whatever they want with your article.
- civilmanner. Referring to me as an "arrogant toad" is likely to be viewed as incivil.
- personal attacksagainst users are not tolerated.
Once you have addressed the above issues, your article will most likely be accepted (though I cannot guarantee that another editor will not
