Speedy deletion nomination of Princeton Quant Trading Conference

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Princeton Quant Trading Conference requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Whispe ring 15:36, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. I can see now that some of your urls in the text may have been intended as references, they need to be formatted as such <ref>[url description]</ref> with a {{reflist}} at the end of your text. Note that there shouldn't be any external links in the text, only wikilinks or references. You actually tell us nothing concrete about why the organisation is notable, other than a few promotional claims. Staffing? How is it financed? What is its income? I can't tell anything factual from your text that makes it notable
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. We have a direct url to the organisation (there should one link in a separate External links section, no url links in text) and a highly spammy mission statement which makes up the bulk of the text.
Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: largest student-run quantitative trading conference in the world... unique cross- section of the leading experts... relaxed intellectual environment... catalyze discussions and strengthen ties... hundreds of bright students... dozens of speakers... top...

This isn't necessarily a lost cause, but it needs more facts and less promotion/subjective claims. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:57, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
