Hi. The article you've been working on, Ali Talkies, is encyclopedic &mdash; it's not about a current event. Also, it comes across as rather promotional. Those are both things not to do on Wikinews. At any admin's discretion, the article could be speedy-deleted for either of those two reasons. So, you probably shouldn't be continuing to put work into the article here; it has no future here, unless there's some specific event related to it that's happened within the past day or two (see WN:Newsworthiness). --Pi zero (talk) 12:14, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm afraid this reads more-like a promotional piece than any sort of news report. On that basis, it is likely to end up deleted. The above template gives links to numerous policies and guidelines, but an article must have a specific focus, on a specific event, which has taken place recently. It must be of-interest to a broad audience, and written so that someone unfamiliar with the subject will not find it completely pointless and out-of-context. On that latter point, the subject tells me &mdash; and, I suspect 99%+ of our readers &mdash; absolutely nothing.

What you appear to be trying to write might be a press release, and we do not publish those. That is not a universally-accepted view. Many more-traditional publications blur the line between news and 'advertorial' such that this may not be apparent if you follow such. The issue therein lies with our non-negotiable neutral point of view policy. Similarly, any submission must be at-least close to the project's style guide. This is not remotely like that of Wikipedia, which seems to be where some of this material might be better-placed. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:15, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
