Speedy deletion nomination of Dolphin Developer


A tag has been placed on Dolphin Developer, 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 unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. Hqb (talk) 14:37, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Dolphin Developer, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

In response to your email
I'm afraid that you have misdirected your request to have you account closed; I am just another Wikipedia editor, like you are, and have no power to close an account.

There are no rules against pages about software products on Wikipedia. However, there are guidelines that pages should be about "notable" topics (within the Wikipedia definition of notable, which largely has to do with relevant sources making sufficient note of it) and should not be designed to promote the subject. The article as posted, with the extolling of the product's power and ease of use, and with sourcing only to the developer's own website, seems to fail in both respects, and so I marked it to be looked at by someone who has the power to delete pages.

If you think that the page should not be deleted, you should not be addressing me; you should be going to the page; there you will find a button to click if you wish to contest the requested deletion, which will give you a chance to enter an argument against deletion. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:07, 4 September 2013 (UTC)


 * not only can you include links to the website of a company that is the subject of the article, you should. You absolutely should in two places: the infobox that goes in the upper right of a corporate article has an optional place for a web address which should be used, and generally the first link in the External Links section will be to the official corporate website (use Template:official for these).
 * You can also use the company website for objective noncontroversial information, like the name of the founder, for example.
 * what the corporate website cannot be used for is to establish notability. If you want to establish that a company is important enough that it needs article, you need reliable third party sources that say things about it.
 * You also cannot use the company website for boastful material... Nor other websites hosting material created by the company, such as press releases. Just because the Powell Motors website says that The Homer is fun to drive and comfortable, doesn't mean we can say that. If Car&Driver says that, then we can say that Car&Driver says that... Bt it has to be couched like that, because it still is not a fact, merely a respectably sourced opinion. And even then, we should include the Road&Track review that says that The Homer looks, smells, and drives like a turnip, because our goal is not to laud the car but to give a balanced view of the reaction to it. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:31, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
