Speedy deletion nomination of Maxdalury


A tag has been placed on Maxdalury, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by 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 removed 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's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Problems with upload of File:Maxdalury -1 via RotoGrinders January 15, 2016.png
Thanks for uploading File:Maxdalury -1 via RotoGrinders January 15, 2016.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

File permission problem with File:Maxdalury RotoQL 2.png
Thanks for uploading File:Maxdalury RotoQL 2.png, which you've attributed to None. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mlpearc ( open channel ) 23:45, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. I copy edited maxdalury. Let me know if you aren't clear about any of my changes.

I deleted your article because
 * Although it had independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts, I'm not convinced it meets  notability guidelines. I can't see any claim of notability in terms of sales/downloads. May be WP:Too soon and better as a redirect to maxdalury?
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. I get know sense of what the software does, or even if it is free or paid-for, but we have examples of contentious claims presented as fact that include: world-class... can now maximize their time and winnings by acquiring the ability to utilize... widely adopted by the world's top players. 

Your edits suggest that you have a conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this article and maxdalury. If you have a financial stake in this topic, it is mandatory to declare any paid advocacy. This is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated directly or indirectly by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.

I can release the deleted text to a user subpage if you think it is currently viable as a stand-alone article, but you must answer my COI query first Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:38, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

I am still in the process of editing the article. It was deleted mid-edit once before because of potential COI, which, to my knowledge, have been resolved. Please provide any suggestions on how to improve the article.

Thank you! Ambidandy (talk) 01:30, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:RotoQL Black.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:RotoQL Black.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
