Speedy deletion of JumpIn Mobile
A tag has been placed on JumpIn Mobile 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 company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 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.

deletion contested
The page seemed to contain and was intended to contain basic descriptive information as seen in many if not all of the other pages in this same category. References from legitimate news sources were included and all facts and statements were accurate and truthful. I do not understand what differentiates this posting from so many others which have been allowed to be published. Further I think it would be very helpful if the person who has taken on the initiative of deleting another’s work would first try and help a new contributor such as me to understand the problem with said contribution. If it is a matter of formatting or specific content, these can be easily changed with the proper guidance instead of simply eliminating a contributor's work in one fell swoop with nothing more than an alpha numeric reference to some vague standard. It seems to me that many of the articles I read in this category are also about a corporation and do not establish a better reason than my own as to why this corporation is indeed "notable". Thank you.

P.S. my article was flagged for deletion literaly seconds after posting, how does this happen?

Hi. I've reviewed the article. The mistake you made was not to include any assertion of notability. I could create some technology in my back bedroom, but until anybody knows about it it's not fit for an encyclopedia. What's its greatest claim to fame? Review WP:CORP and WP:WEB. Also, bear in mind that WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is only an argument for other things to be deleted, not for the article under discussion to be undeleted. Happy to answer any questions... --Dweller (talk) 14:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I know about it and so do a few thousand users, so what is the magic number that makes something considered notable? I'm not trying to be confrontational, I am trying to learn how to do this the right way. Would it help to include more information that sets JumpIn apart from the other players?


 * No magic number and no worries - Wikipedia's many policies make it a bit of a mystery to newbies. Read WP:CORP and WP:WEB. They're packed with suggestions. Let me know when you have something that's solid and I'll recreate the article.

Dweller, once again thank you for taking the time to help with my post and here is what I rewrote. iIt is a new second paragraph that hopefully has some new, more notable information. By the way I saw some of the work you are doing on castles and would like to offer a couple of castle pictures I have from Spain if you are interested. I'll look for them and post them if you think they would be helpfull. At any rate here is the new paragraph:

JumpIn Mobile is an off and on deck mobile application, meaning that while it is integrated into many carriers' home page in the U.S. and Latin America it is also accessible from any phone with WAP 1.2 capability or higher. JumpIn is creating a bridge between the U.S. and Latin America by providing a new method of communication between the users in many U.S. Hispanic markets and their family members South of the border. JumpIn is currently found in the home page of: Millicom in ElSalvador, Pocket Communications in Texas i wireless, Immix Wireless, and Mobi PCS in the U.S. and more. In order to make JumpIn fit a particular market, a carrier’s deck can be assigned a default language of English, Spanish or Portuguese while still allowing the individual user the option of setting a new language at any time.
