Speedy deletion of "Textfyre"
A page you created, Textfyre, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Speedy deletion of David Cornelson
A tag has been placed on David Cornelson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Newsaholic (talk) 20:59, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Textfyre
This is in response to your comment here. I have no doubt that Textfyre is a real company! That's why I started the citation collection, so that when Textfyre does meet Wikipedia's standards we'll be able to get going quickly. I understand your frustration with Malinche Entertainment having an article, but whatever you think of Sherman he is pretty good at getting (relatively) mainstream coverage of his company. For now my recommendation is to not worry about it, although be sure to welcome any press coverage that is interested. Once you start shipping stuff I'd suggest actively seeking out press coverage, but I'm guessing you knew that. With luck, I or other editors will note the coverage and when there is enough to withstand a notability challenge, including a few reliable sources, we'll make the article. And while editing your own articles is tricky to do without stepping on the guidelines, you can and are welcome to make suggestions on the talk pages at no risk.  In particular, if you get some press coverage and no one notices it, take a moment to add it to the list at Talk:Interactive fiction.  I'm keeping an eye on it and I suspect others are.  Best of luck with the company!  — Alan De Smet | Talk 23:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
