Moebius Scarf
Please don't create articles which are promotional in tone, like you did with Moebius Scarf. Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia, based on reliable, independent sources, about notable subjects. 09:14, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Mobius Scarf
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 Mobius Scarf, 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 and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Top Jim (talk) 09:25, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Top Jim (talk) 09:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
This is your last warning; the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Kinu t/c 09:32, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- I've stricken out this final warning in order to assume good faith. I can see why someone might see some of the content of the article you created as promotional, due to the mention of a store, embellishment of the excitement of such a scarf, etc.; however, I feel this might not be your intention. Something about this topic might be appropriate, but it would help to cite reliable sources about the topic to avoid any confusion. You might want to check out information on creating your first article for some pointers. I hope this helps. --Kinu t/c 09:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
