If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers: We hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  19:11, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you.-- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  23:59, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

wikipedia policies
One of the prime policies regarding content at Wikipedia, is that if content is challenged, it MUST NOT be restored unless it is accompanied by a citation to a reliably published source that validates the claim. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  19:10, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * verification is one of the content policies and citing the subjects website would clear that part of the content requirements, but you would still have to address WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:NPOV and it would do nothing to address THE biggest issue of notability which requires that in order for there to be an article at Wikipedia, reliable sources OTHER than the subject have taken notice of the subject --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  19:24, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, if the only people who have written about it are the people who created it and the places they work for, it does not meet the level of "notability" that Wikipedia requires for a stand alone encyclopedia article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  19:36, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * See WP:ATD for some of the options that might be appropriate other than deletion. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  19:49, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
