As to the question of the page you created for Saba software, there are a few issues. First, as I mentioned on the talk page of the article, the text is a direct copy from a page which asserts copyright. Wikipedia cannot accept such submissions. Secondly, the original text is copied from a description of the company on the company's own website. This sort of content will almost never be appropriate for an encyclopedia. Wikipedia attempts to write everything with a neutral point of view, while most marketing material will have a different aim. And finally, it appears that you might be affilliated with the subject of the article. While it is not strictly forbidden to write an article about an organization in which you have an interest, it is often not a good idea. See the guideline on conflicts of interest for more information.

So, again, we welcome you to Wikipedia. And if there are any questions I can answer for you feel free to ask on my talk page. ScottW 22:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Saba Software, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Xdenizen 07:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:SabaLogoLg.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:SabaLogoLg.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SabaLogoLg 10pct.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:SabaLogoLg 10pct.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:29, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Saba Software
The article you modelled this entry on showed how the company it discussed was notable. (see WP:CORP) The article shows that company has won awards. The article you wrote did not show how Saba Software is different from thousands of similar companies. - Mgm|(talk) 10:38, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Web Services in Learning (WSIL)


The article Web Services in Learning (WSIL) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
