Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Henley & Partners
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 Draft:Henley & Partners, 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.

Hi, please read the following carefully. As well as being highly promotional, your article
- did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Most of your references were to your own sites, press releases or sales sites like Amazon
- You are so busy telling us how wonderful the company is, you don't show why it meets the notability criteria. You give an unsourced number of emplyees, but no profits or turnover
- You have a conflict of interest when editing this article, and you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
- The nature of your edits gives the impression you are employed directly or indirectly by the company and therefore have a financial stake in promoting this topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization, directly or indirectly, to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Mara.ispas. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Mara.ispas|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
I will shortly post the deleted text here and then edit out the worst of the spam. Please do not restore it or it will be permanently deleted. Note that the edited version will still need work to be acceptable Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:06, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Paid editing
A simple Google search shows that you are a paid employee of Henley & Partners, and therefore in accordance with Wikipedia's policy on paid editing, you are required to disclose this. The easiest way to do this is to post on your userpage, User:Mara.ispas a disclosure of the form "I am an employee of Henley & Partners" and am being paid to create an article on Henley & Partners Visa Restrictions Index."
Until you make such a disclosure, any edits you make are in violation of Wikipedia's Terms of Use, and so your draft article will not be accepted. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:30, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

- Note that the article title should be just "Henley & Partners. We don't include LTd, LLC, Corp, Pvt or similar. Doesn't matter here, but fix it when you move to article space.
- headings should follow normal capitalisation, eg "Social responsibility"
- One of your refs needs fixing, and there is another that's a bare url
- I'd be inclined to lose all those one paragraph subsections. Lots of second level headings looks messy and "shopping list" appearance looks spammy
- Although the tone is better, it's still all about what you sell, little about the company. From your draft, I don't know if you have two employees or 2,000. You talk about "The companies of the group" only in passing. I understand that Jersy-based companies are famously secretive, but I think it's a problem that you can tell us nothing about the company (group?) beyond what it sells.
- Avoid weasel words like "innovative" "independent" and "distinguished". That's particularly the case when your secrecy means we have no way of even having an opinion on whether your award body is either independent or distinguished
Although it's better, if it were in article space I would be inclined to speedy delete again. We have no indication of why the company is notable other than you telling us it is, and without any real factual content, it boils down to "this is what we sell". I'll be interested to see what the Draft reviewer says (I don't think it's in your interest for me to do a formal review. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:29, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

I think your changes to the history are a retrograde measure
- Easy bit: While its origins date back more than 45 years— better to give a starting year as the time elapsed will become dated
- The real problem is that we now have a COI editor littering an article with loaded terms, despite my comments above —small but successful... becoming an expert... placing Henley & Partners ahead of all its competitors... The program's success... Following the success...— whether you think these terms are justified or not, you are not the person to make those judgements, and you are effectively saying to passing admin "please delete this". Draft space gives some protection, but texts can still be speedy deleted if they stray too far.

Deleting a redirect
We have created a full entry for the Henley & Partners - Kochenov Quality of Nationality Index, titled same. There is currently a page called 'Quality of Nationality Index', which is directed to the Henley & Partners. We need to delete both the Quality of Nationality Index page and the redirect action. The Henley & Partners - Kochenov Quality of Nationality Index page should be the only entry for this index. Help? Baffled by the innerworkings of Wikipedia.
