Speedy deletion nomination of Elsafe Australia


A tag has been placed on Elsafe Australia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Deleted page and COI
I've deleted the page because ultimately I couldn't see where the company passed notability guidelines. A search did not bring up any evidence of coverage in independent and reliable sources (WP:RS) such as newspapers and the like. While the company does exist (WP:ITEXISTS) and seems to be doing well, that doesn't really give notability in and of itself. Both of those things can make it more likely that the company will gain coverage, but it's not a guarantee. I do see where you were using WP:PRIMARY sources in the article, but those cannot show notability for the company. I'm also somewhat concerned over the statement "we are adding definitions of soft wiring and other items that will extend the Wikipedia database." This infers two statements, one of which may have been unintentional.

The first is that you work for the company or were otherwise hired or asked to create this article for them. If that is so, then you need to read over our conflict of interest guidelines. You can edit an article with a conflict of interest, but you must disclose this interest up front, preferably on your userpage but it would also be recommended that you mention this on the talk page of any articles that you edit, if you are going to edit in a manner that would mention the company. (IE, if you were going to edit an article and use the company as a source or mention the company, you should disclose that COI but a general edit to just add information without inserting any mention of the company wouldn't require that disclosure.) The reason I say on your userpage is because that way it's easy for people to see the COI notice without having to go to various pages and look for a COI disclosure.

The second statement is likely unintentional, but it comes across as if you are saying that because you are intending to edit various pertinent articles, that the company should have an article as services rendered. I don't think that this is intentional, but when you have a conflict of interest it is very, very important to watch how you phrase things because they can and will be misinterpreted. I won't lie- it's difficult to be a COI editor because you have to follow our guidelines while also trying to satisfy your employers, but it can be done. The number one thing I'd say is that as long as you are up front about your COI with Wikipedia, you make sure to follow guidelines to a T, and are careful about how you write things, you shouldn't really run into too many problems. You may get some flack from your employers, but please let them know that this deletion wasn't due to any failings on your part- I just didn't see where the company is ultimately notable enough to pass our admittedly very, very strict notability guidelines for companies. (WP:CORP)

On a side note, I notice that another editor with the same name (User:BriannaFrancis) also edited the article. Is this you? If so, then please read over the guidelines at WP:SOCK and I'd probably recommend that you limit editing to one account just to make sure that everything is transparent. You can have another account depending on the circumstances, but since you are very likely a COI account it is just honestly better if you stick to one account. If you lost the password to one of the two accounts, I'd recommend that you mark on the userpage that this is an alternate account for (whichever one you have the password for), that you are a COI editor, and that you lost the password on this account.
