Speedy deletion nomination of Venture Solutions Inc.


A tag has been placed on Venture Solutions Inc. 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GimliDotNet (talk) 19:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Venture Solutions Inc.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for taking the time to contribute.

I'm a bot designed by another Wikipedia editor, and I'm here to help you with our deletion process. I noticed that while working on an article recently, you removed a speedy deletion template that tagged it for deletion. Don't get discouraged! Deletion discussions happen on Wikipedia all the time.

If you don't want the article to get deleted, please [ click here].

The link will take you to the talk page, where you can explain why the article should be kept. If you have any questions about this or need help with editing, you can ask at the Help desk.

We really hope you'll stick around to help make Wikipedia better! Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 19:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Venture Solutions Inc.. 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, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 19:28, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Articles
Sorry to you caught in the middle, but what your boss wants and what we allow may not be the same things. At AboutUs and LinkedIn, you can post company and personal profiles - no problem, no referencing, no horrible patrollers and admins. (They may take exception to certain things like porn, illegal activities etc...) Here, we have policies like WP:CORP - corporate notability, which has to be backed up with reliable independent sources WP:RS. The link you put is independent, but the style (equivalent to "'Blah blah rhubarb,' says the cheerful CEO of BloggsCo, Fred Bloggs himself.") is not really what we seek. Not all companies get articles. I can remember a multi-million dollar business that was totally non-notable. Why? Millions of households used their products daily! But - they made only own brand goods for supermarket chains. Not one product under their own name. Of course, the Infernal Revenue and their employees had heard of them, but not one RS. This is an encyclopaedia, not a directory, and sometimes it's easier to get an article for a company that has misbehaved rather than for one doing a good (but quiet) job. If you want another go, do it at User:EmilyIvey/DRAFT, but gather the refs first. Vital. You didn't do a bad job - but you know more now, don't you? (If not, I've wasted my time...) Don't stress the clients - no notability is transferred there. Show coverage in RS. Read WP:COI and WP:NPOV - you pass NPOV so far, anyway. When you've got it together, ask for advice. Most regular editors and admins are willing to help - and listen to them. We do want articles - we've only got a bit over three million at the moment. But they must fit our policies. Good luck, and don't be afraid to ask. Peridon (talk) 20:00, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 'Solutions' is an unfortunate word - it attracts our patrollers. Don't, whatever you do, 'offer solutions' in the body of the article. Peridon (talk) 20:02, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
