Microsol
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Microsol, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.microsol.biz/overview.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 09:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Microsol
A tag has been placed on Microsol requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 hangon 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.

Microsol
Hi Alianz 86. I saw your comments at Talk:Microsol and thought I'd come and explain more personally why the article has been tagged for deletion. If you want any more information about any of these points, feel free to ask here or on my user talk page. Gonzonoir (talk) 12:54, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The most immediate problem is that the article violates copyright. The text has been lifted straight from http://www.microsol.biz/overview.php, a page with a copyright notice on it. Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material. It is possible for copyright holders to donate material if they accept certain licensing conditions, but I wouldn't recommend investigating that in this case because of the next issue:
 * 2) The article is clearly promotional. It talks about the company as "we" and "us". As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia does not promote or advertise any entity, and business listings of this sort cannot be published in the encyclopedia.
 * 3) You point out that we have articles about big software and tech companies in Microsol's field. That doesn't automatically mean that any similar company merits an encyclopedia entry. Articles need to demonstrate their subjects' notability to survive: they need to show that the subject's been the subject of substantial coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. That's clearly the case for Microsoft or Apple, for example. (A related point is that just because another company currently has an article, doesn't mean it necessarily should have one: Wikipedia is volunteer-run and it's possible nobody yet assessed the other article's notability.)
 * 4) The last thing I want to note is that, if you have a personal interest in Microsol yourself, you should avoid writing about it per our conflict of interest policy. You might instead try the articles for creation process to suggest that someone else writes one - but that process will still apply the same notability rules as the rest of the encyclopedia.
