Speedy deletion nomination of Higher Nature
A tag has been placed on Higher Nature, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}} to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. |

Hello,
I'm not involved in the deletion nomination for this article, but I do agree with it. The problem isn't so much that the article is "spamworthy" - that's fixable - but that the resulting cleaned-up article would still be about a subject that doesn't appear to be sufficiently "notable" per Wikipedia policy.
I know starting out editing here at Wikipedia can seem like a barrage of people telling you things, mainly that you're doing something wrong, but in this case it would be worth reading the specific policy on notability for companies. None of the citations in the article carry any weight for establishing notability - they are all either controlled by the company itself, or trivial mentions. I know it's disheartening when you put a lot of work into an article only to have it deleted, but realistically, that's probably what's going to happen. A fairly unremarkable supplier of a commonplace product probably shouldn't have an encyclopedia article about them.
Of course, if the founders of the company have in the past, or are planning to in the next few days, been involved in a presidential sex scandal, murdered a famous actor, or committed some other unambiguously interesting act then this whole situation changes :) Barring that, I'd suggest bowing to the inevitable and acquiescing to the deletion, because frankly it's going to happen anyway, and you might as well appear cool and dignified about it!
Since you clearly have specialist knowledge in this area, you might be interested in working on some of the other articles about health food and dietary supplements in Wikipedia, many of which could really use some attention from someone who knew what they were talking about. I do know how disheartening it is when your work gets deleted ( one of mine is up for the chop right now too) but it's just part of the process here at Wikipedia, it's never personal, and you can get a lot of enjoyment out of editing here if you stick with it.

Hi,
No worries, I understand. Thanks for putting so much time and effort into sending me a message, much appreciated :)
