Hello Rajnipandey,
Times Food & Nightlife Guide Delhi- 2010
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[BrainBaazi]] for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:BrainBaazi}}&action=edit§ion=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on [[User_talk:Arthistorian1977|my talk page]] if you have questions.

==COI==
You have an obvious [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]] and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are '''<u>required</u> by the [[wmf:TOU|Wikimedia Terms of Use]] to disclose your employer, client and affiliation.''' You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at [[User:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]. The template {{tl|Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: <span style="font-size:85%;"><tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>paid|user={{BASEPAGENAME}}|employer=''InsertName''|client=''InsertName''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt></span>. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
Also read the following regarding writing an article
*you must provide '''[[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|independent verifiable sources]]''' to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guidelines]]. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, 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 organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
*you must write in a [[WP:NOTADVERTISING|non-promotional]] tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
*there shouldn't be ''any'' url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
*you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in [[WP:COPY|this policy]]. That applies ''even'' to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state '''clearly and explicitly''' that the text is '''public ___domain'''. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials|here]]; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
I note that you have been edit warring, reverting the edits of others, removing speedy deletion tags yourself and similar disruption in the course of your spamming. Any similar behaviour again, and I will block you.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|independent third party sources]]. Also read [[Wikipedia:Your first article|Your first article]]. You '''must''' also reply to the COI request above.
== March 2018 ==
[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|alt=Stop icon]] You may be '''[[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]] without further warning''' the next time you remove a [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] notice from a page you have created yourself. <!-- Template:uw-speedy4 --> [[User:Jimfbleak|<b style="font-family:Lucida;color:red">Jimfbleak</b>]] - [[User talk:Jimfbleak|<span style="font-family:arial;color:green"><i>talk to me?</i></span>]] 06:38, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
== [[Draft:Aafat (web series)|Aafat (web series)]] moved to draftspace ==
An article you recently created, [[Draft:Aafat (web series)|Aafat (web series)]], does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:IS|independent sources]]. <small>([[WP:42|?]])</small> Information that can't be referenced should be removed ([[WP:V|verifiability]] is of [[WP:5|central importance]] on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to [[Wikipedia:Draftspace|draftspace]] (with a prefix of "<code>Draft:</code>" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

* Please note that simply adding a few urls is not sufficient to have this article moved to mainspace. The references that you added aren't actually referencing anything because the article has no content. The lede was removed as a [[WP:COPYVIO|copyright violation]] because it was too similar to the original text. All articles require a lede at the minimum and really, the article requires a lot more than that before it can be moved to mainspace. I suggest that you read [[Help:Your first article]] for some guidance. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:#008751;">Aussie</span><span style="color:#fcd116;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 10:33, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

As I pointed out previously, adding a few urls is not sufficient to have this article moved to mainspace. Also as I stated, the references that you added aren't actually referencing anything because the article has no content. At best they are external links and should be added as such. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft%3AAafat_%28web_series%29&type=revision&diff=913152914&oldid=913152822 This] was absolutely pointless. No reviewer is going to move the draft to mainspace until all of the problems have been fixed. As I've already said, at the very least, this draft requires a sourced lede and should contain other content. --[[User:AussieLegend|'''<span style="color:#008751;">Aussie</span><span style="color:#fcd116;">Legend</span>''']] ([[User talk:AussieLegend#top|<big>✉</big>]]) 15:46, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on [[:Dineout]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|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 [[:Dineout|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 deleted 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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request [[WP:USERFY|Userfication]] of the content if it meets requirements.

Hello, Rajnipandey. It has been over six months since you last edited the [[WP:AFC|Articles for Creation]] submission or [[WP:Drafts|Draft]] page you started, "[[Draft:Aafat (web series)|Aafat]]".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia [[WP:mainspace|mainspace]], the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Aafat (web series)|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at [[WP:REFUND/G13|this link]]. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
