Speedy deletion nomination of Galleria rts


A tag has been placed on Galleria rts, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance 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. andy (talk) 09:15, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Galleria rts. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. andy (talk) 10:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Response
I would suggest looking at WP:NPOV and WP:RS. Wording like "provider of automated retail and category optimization solutions" and "Galleria works consistently with retailers and manufacturers, helping them to develop category strategies that will satisfy customer needs around the world. The company designs, develops and delivers automated retail and category optimization software solutions along with providing consultancy services that cluster stores for better market segmentation, and synchronize assortment and space planning based on consumer demand." are usually indicative of a 'written by' rather than 'written about' approach to an article. Please see WP:COI about conflict of interest. Wording like this is suggestive of an entry at somewhere like LinkedIn or AboutUs, where the site is not an encyclopaedia. I'm sorry if the response you were "disappointed at the reaction it has got and also the level of response which comes accross as abrupt and unhelpful", but the patroller was performing in accordance with Wikipedia standards for articles, and gave you an informative and neutrally worded reply. The information you seek isin those policies mentioned. As to other companies, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Perhaps they are shown as more notable. or better referenced (yours are in the main to the company site, with a directory entry and a company snapshot which is fairly certain to be company supplied), or perhaps we haven't caught them yet. With the article count here in the millions, and the workforce all volunteer (except for a handful of technical staff maintaining the servers, etc), some things slip through the net. I regret to say that I am blocking this account as appearing to represent a company, as our policy is for accounts to be single user individual and personal. You may appeal for unblock to change name, but that doesn't mean that material apparently promotional (note that I am not accusing you of spamming - I cannot read your intentions). If you re-create the article, I would seriously advise doing so in userspace as a subpage, first having read the policies and accumulated reliable independent sources, and then to ask a regular editor or admin to give an opinion. It is a good idea to put DRAFT at the top. Peridon (talk) 13:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Peridon (talk) 13:26, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
