Thank You. It would be great to know an approximate time frame as to when my request will be looked into. Is it possible to check whether I have posted the request correctly in the "Requested Article for profit companies" page? Dakshina.maratt (talk) 20:08, 30 December 2013 (UTC)


 * These requests are acted upon by volunteers; there's no way to predict when your request will catch an editor's fancy. Unfortunately low-profile companies are not all that popular a topic, so it may well take quite some time. Huon (talk) 20:36, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I have requested for an article on the "Requested Article for profit companies" page. When and how do I get to know whether someone has created an article on the company, Speridian Technologies, with reference to all the details and external links I have provided?

 * You can tell if the article is created by searching for it; however, it will take a long time, since there are a lot of requested articles and only a few people going through them.
 * Somebody might decide to put a message here if/when it's created. --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @  19:50, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

After I save the article, how do I make sure a wikipedia editor aprroves it or not? Anything I should add like 'help me' here to catch their attention
 * You should put your article back into the sandbox and type in . --I dream of horses @  19:37, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

where do I add this? At the end of the article or beginning?


 * That doesn't really matter; I'd put it at the very top, but the end will also do. Huon (talk) 20:02, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Should I run it through editors at talk page before I submit, to get good feedback? If so, how do I do this?
 * If you get rejected, you'll be told why. You can also go to if you want your article to be checked before you submit it. --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a  message on my talk page. @  20:38, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks.

If I submit the page and it gets approved, can I still come back and make edits to the article?
 * Yes. So can other people. --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @  22:31, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

I am getting this message when I preview my article. Please help. I have added reflist at the top and under the reference list at the end. Cite error: There are tags on this page, but the references will not show without a reflist template (see the help page). This is my page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Speridian_Technologies&action=submit


 * So much for creating a draft in your sandbox and submitting it for review... The reflist template is meant to display the footnotes, it should not itself be put into a footnote.
 * Unfortunately I had to delete the article because it copied its sources at length, word by word - a copyright violation. It also sounded extremely promotional, and I don't think even you could explain what a "multi-vertical portfolio of solution accelerators" is supposed to be. I'm pretty sure that was not about solutions. Huon (talk) 22:51, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Speridian Technologies


A tag has been placed on Speridian Technologies, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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, you can place a request here.

 * Try removing the one on top. --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @  22:44, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I had requested for an article on the "Requested Article for profit companies" page few months ago. Till now there has been no response about creating an article on the company, Speridian Technologies, with reference to all the references and external links I have provided? Could someone please help regarding this? I thought wikipedia is a space for both small and large companies/people.

Thank You!
 * Hi, if you look at Requested articles/Business and economics/Companies, you will notice that there are hundreds of requested articles on the list. Wikipedia is volunteer-based, so it will take time, and possibly a LOT of time before an editor might find this company, become interested in it, perform the research required to write the article, and then write the article. (These things don't happen by magic, you know. ) The article has been deleted three times prior for 1) Failing to establish the notability of the company. 2) Unambiguous advertising and promotion, and 3) Unambiguous copyright infringement: from http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-09-02/software-services/41688180_1_cmmi-level-standard-cmmi-appraisal-method-capability-maturity-model-integration and another source. Now, the notability guidelines for companies are at WP:NCORP. So, with the knowledge of why the article was deleted, and with the notability guidelines, you can either attempt to create the article yourself through the Articles for Creation process, or you can wait for the article to be created, which may or may not happen for a long time.
