A tag has been placed on COMCARE, 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, service or person and 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. The Evil Spartan 17:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: COMCARE
Specifically RE the most recent COMCARE deletion: content-wise, is the information I included really all that different than the wikipedia entry for, say, the National Emergency Number Association (NENA)? Like my entry, NENA's entry is taken practically word-for-word from their mission statement. It then follows with a brief description of what the organization does -- and in fact the NENA entry even encourages people to visit the organization's website.

Is there anything substantially different, again in terms of actual content, between the NENA article that has been kept up and my most recent article which was speedily taken down? —Preceding unsigned comment added by COMCARE (talk • contribs) 15:41, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
 * The first time the article was deleted was because it was taken directly from your website. Please see the directions under template:sd-copyvio for information on why we can't accept copyrighted material. The second time, if I remember correctly, the text sounded like an ad (see WP:CSD) - however, the reason the administrator decided to delete it was that it didn't make an assertion to notability as a corporation (see WP:CSD and WP:CORP for instructions on how to go about this). In fact, you are correct, and the NENA article sounds somewhat spammy; thus I have marked (though, in fact, it doesn't appear to be insalvageably spammy, thus not qualifying for speedy deletion). Please feel free to write a neutral article that doesn't use any text immediately from your website (unless you follow the directions listed above for releasing the information's copyright). You also might want to make sure the company follows the notability guidelines. Alternatively, you can try deletion review, but I would suggest just recreating the article from scratch.
