Speedy deletion nomination of Everbridge


A tag has been placed on Everbridge 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 an organization or company, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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. JMHamo (talk) 12:29, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Help me
I'm trying to add an Everbridge Wikipedia page and it has been flagged for speedy deletion. I've removed materials that may be considered promotional, but I'm still getting the same message. I'm trying to highlight Everbridge's history and its expertise in the field of critical communication, and am wondering what else I can do to get this flag removed. I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you!


 * Hi, Dkobialka01 – I have written a lead paragraph and placed links on the talk page of the Everbridge article. This will hopefully establish its notability.  Also found some categories for the sorting of the page.  The article still needs work, because there are too few reliable sources that are from other than the Everbridge website.  You and other editors need to go through the article and make it sound more "encyclopedic" and less like advertising.  Do that, and you just might avert the deletion of the article.

 * Well, we tried, Dkobialka01, but the Everbridge page has been deleted. I have userfied a copy of the most recent version; you can find it in my sandbox, where I will keep it for a few days to give you enough time to save it to your own user subpage and continue to work on it.  I would suggest, though, that you use Wikipedia's existing Articles for creation process to continue the work on that page.  Feel free to make edits to my sandbox or to ask me any questions that may arise. Joys! –   Paine Ellsworth   C LIMAX ! 22:36, 25 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I have deleted the article. It is very clear that Dkobialka01 has a conflict of interest and the article was poorly sourced (mostly to press releases and the company's own website). In the form it was in I considered it unsalvageable. The company does appear to be notable but it is highly advised that editors who have a conflict of interest to not create articles (see below). If you must, stick to using only the best independent sources e.g. this and this and then submit a draft via articles for creation, disclosing your conflict of interest and wait for others to review it. It would likely be substantially shorter than the version I deleted. SmartSE (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Everbridge (2)


A tag has been placed on Everbridge, 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.

Hello, Dkobialka01. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 22:23, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
