DarkStar Games
Hi there. I noticed your article on DarkStar Games, and am leaving this note to give you a heads-up. As it is a test page (I'm using your own description from your user page), it is likely that the article will be quickly removed from Wikipedia with little or no notice, as test pages are not allowed in the main article namespace. Since you have already cut and pasted the article into your User space, I ask you to replace the entire mainspace article with this template in order to delete it. Once your article is ready, then you can create the new page by cutting and pasting from your user space.

Also, you should know that Conflict of Interest editing is strongly discouraged here, as it is highly unlikely that an individual closely related to the article subject will write a neutral encyclopedia article. As you have identified yourself as a member of the company, you have a clear conflict of interest. Additionally, you will have to establish notability by referencing reliable sources. The links in the boilerplate message I added above give some good advice.

Guess I'm saying that you should be careful, and also be mindful of what Wikipedia is not, specifically that it is not a place for advertising. Good luck, and happy editing. Steamroller Assault (talk) 07:19, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up
I was not advertising actually but was trying to create a test page according to the tutorial presented at account creation which gave 2 options for what I thought was how to create a page as a child of my user page. When I saved I noticed it created the page as a production page and so I copied its body to my user page and just left it at that figuring it would get gutted off production fairly quickly.

I am aware of the information you offered and as stated above it was supposed to be a test page that I could work on over time and was not going to be pushed to production Darkstargames (talk) 13:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Notability of DarkStar Games
A tag has been placed on DarkStar Games requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 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. Jlhiowa (talk) 05:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
