A tag has been placed on Skilligent, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Iknowyourider (t c) 19:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Reply to your message to me
Please post any reply here; this page is on my watchlist, so I'll be notified.

I'm sorry that your article was deleted too quickly for you to react. Your article was probably deleted so quickly for a few reasons:
 * As I recall, the main concern was notability. Did it have any sources at all?  (I honestly don't remember.)
 * Neutral point of view was an additional concern -- one that manifests itself again in your message to me. Making claims like "will undoubtedly revolutionize the industrial, service, and personal robotics industry" sounds a bit biased to me, especially without any further elaboration.  Are you sure you don't have a conflict of interest in this situation?

I've linked to appropriate Wikipedia policies on each of these issues -- if you could familiarize yourself with them, that'd be great.

Yeah, uh, I suppose that the real resolution to this issue is to write a complete article to post onto wikipedia with sources and links. I thought that this was a place for people to come together and collectively expand on topics. This seems not to be the case as you guys would not leave the stub online long enough for anyone else to come along to contribute. I am not in entirely complete understanding of every bit of knowledge concerning this company. There is no conflict of interest, the bit about the software being revolutionary was mentioned because I was trying to assert requested notability and give a reason that this article should exist for more than 5 minutes so that it may be developed.Bsshearer 23:38, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * If you want to recreate the article, that's perfectly fine and I encourage you to do so -- but please refrain from using things that sound like advertisements (e.g. "will revolutionize the industry"), and please have at at least one source other than, say, the company's own website. If one makes such claims and can't back them up with a reliable source, then the article begins to sound very much like spam.  I hope you understand.  Iknowyourider (t c) 23:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
