Digital Samba
Hi Dascope,

Please don't take offence at some of the comments on the articles for deletion page - its just that due to the nature of Wikipedia, we receive a lot of articles from people representing companies or products that they want to advertise! As Wikipedia is advert free, this means that people are very defensive over any company-related article.

Our guidelines on companies can be found here:Notability (companies and corporations). Any article on a company has to prove that it fulfills these criteria. I notice that a couple of your supporting articles are blogs, which aren't really the level of notability that we want.

To be honest, I think that - unless you can dig out stories from a major news company or a newspaper - Digital Samba falls just under the bar set for inclusion on Wikipedia at the moment. --Robdurbar 11:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank You
Rodurbar, thank you for taking the time to address my concerns.

I will see if I can find an article - I know there was one in a major magazine in austria a couple of years ago but i don't know where off hand and if i can get in digital format. Also macromedia published an article about us in their own magazine.

We are only just launching our latest product, we are a young company and I do understand that wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is an open publishing platform however and I do feel that if someone WANTS TO read on Digital Samba they should be able to, noone is forcing this information upon anyone. Similarly I don't think wikipedia should be a platform only accesible to multinational corporates.

I will try get you these articles and I will also respect the rules of this platform which I have the utmost respect for and think is one of the greatest initiatives of this decade. If moderators deem our company not yet ready for this platform, I will accept this decision and try again once I can back up my claim with further evidence.

All the best, Robert
