User talk:Cpanoff

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Quartermaster (talk) 17:52, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Intelleges
A tag has been placed on Intelleges, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Deletion of Intelleges
''Hey! I just created a page for a company intelleges and it was deleted claiming it was advertising... It is no more and ad than these companies' pages: honeywell ZogSports and walmart. Why was this deleted and the others weren't?''


 * The truth is that we haven't gotten around to deleting all of the advertising articles on wikipedia. There are more marketers who don't understand wikipedia and its culture than there are those of us "weeding the garden." I recommend you read the wikipedia articles on conflict of interest, neutral point of view, and spam before proceeding. Articles about a company are perfectly legitimate, but they must be encyclopedic and neutral (so involved parties in a company, though not prohibited from creating and writing articles, are frowned upon when creating and editing articles about their company). A good article about a company is one that cites neutral, reputable third party sources. the Walmart wikipedia entry is actually a good example of "what floats" and you may wish to look at the references cited in that entry. Don't feel that you cannot contribute to wikipedia - I personally think there is a logical conflict in that the people that know the most about an entity and could contribute accurate information about a company article are also most likely to not be neutral about it.


 * Also note that I merely tagged the article as a candidate for deletion; I have no ability to delete wikipedia articles. When so tagged, a wikipedia administrator will check out my recommendation, and they will determine if a deletion is warranted. It is the admin that deleted your article to whom you should probably address your complaint regarding the actual deletion. I'm just one of the worker bees in the wikipedia hive mind! --Quartermaster (talk) 18:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
