User talk:Dobbster

A tag has been placed on ScanSafe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb- Me  MyEarsMyMouth-timed 13:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: ScanSafe
ScanSafe has been deleted because it qualified as blatant advertisement under the criteria for speedy deletion see deletion log. Wikipedia is not a place for advertisement or promotion. Although I did not place the speedy deletion tag on the article, I tend to agree with the nominator and decided to leave you a note for recreating a inappropriate page which has been deleted before for the same reason. I will leave you the welcome template on your talk page. It includes helpful links on how to edit Wikipedia. Hopefully these links will help you to create an article which will not qualify for WP:CSD. Regards  User  Doe ☻T☼C 18:30, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

ScanSafe Deletion
I did rewrite my contribution based on the speedy deletion. I also made it a stub so that other could expound on it. Can you tell me how my entry differs from other entries on managed web security companies like messagelabs and I can try it again? Thanks--Dobbster (talk) 18:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't (at least in my opinion...you can take the article to Articles_for_deletion if you want). If you really want the article about ScanSafe, then I suggest you create the article one more time. Try yo leave out the "is a leading provider" part and instead write "is a provider". Try not to add a link to the companies homepage (if you did that before, I really didn't look at the external links). Write it in your own words from a neutral point of view.  I'll take a glance at the article if you're done with it.  User   Doe ☻T☼C 19:01, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Edit This link might also help Perfect_stub_article
 * (edit conflict) You also might want to make sure you meet the minimum criteria for an article about a company before you proceed. And if you are close to the company, be sure to follow the guidelines in Conflict of interest. Regarding the article on messagelabs, that article needs to meet the notability requirements, too; so it is possible that that article should meet the same fate as yours and has just not been scrutinized yet. Good luck!--12 N oo n 19:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
