Re:Deletion of The DOORKICK
The problem with the article is that it had no references to reliable third party sources that prove the subject is notable. To have an article on the subject, you would need to present books or newspaper articles about it that prove its notability. - SimonP (talk) 14:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (organizations and companies) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more: JohnCD (talk) 18:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your company, your client or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own product or business, read Business' FAQ.

The DOORKICK
A tag has been placed on The DOORKICK, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of The DOORKICK and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 18:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. — BradV 19:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear JohnCD, Orangemike, and BradV: I am so confused. I am brand new to Wikipedia. I was right in the middle of creating my article, tried to preview my changes and I received a message saying "my article was deleted while I was editing the article". I was unsure of what just happened. I didn't know that was even possible. I saw a check box that said "retrieve" or something to that effect. So I checked it. I got my article back and was trying to figure out references, footnotes, etc. when I got the same message again. Then I couldn't even finish what I was doing. I was already working with SimonP who told me that my article was deleted because I needed references like a newspaper article. So I was adding those and the patent info like on the POST-IT article. I was only trying to write a similar article to the POST it for the doorkick. I was deleted twice while I was trying to fix my first problem. I wasn't trying to spam/advertise, as I was being accussed of. I promise. I've only been on Wikipedia once before. I'm new at this. I was also trying to figure out how to save the article on a testing page so that I could send it to SimonP for review. I was never able to get to that point because I kept getting deleted. I'm not sure what to do now. I pasted my final attempt of my article below (I'm not sure if this was the version you saw, I know I had several out there): I am just truly just trying to define the doorkick. Please look at the POST IT article, I am trying really hard to do the same thing. please see below:

The DOORKICK[TM], invented by Dionna Mustybrook(Sacramento, CA), is a vehicle interior door pad protector made with a vinyl top layer, foam backing, and can adhere to the lower interior door panel by way of a 3M removable adhesive. The DOORKICK was designed to protect vehicle doors from scuffing caused by drivers or passengers kicking open their car doors. DRM (talk) 21:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view, and so people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves or their own companies, because of the conflict of interest involved. For more advice, read carefully the Business' FAQ, in particular the sections headed:
 * Why doesn't Wikipedia have an article on my company?
 * I think my company deserves an article on Wikipedia but none exists. What can I do?

Thank you for your time
Hi JohnCD, I get it. Thank you for taking time with me. :)I won't waste anymore of your time with this. Take care, Dionna DRM (talk) 22:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
