BizLink
Hello, Glemm, and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, BizLink, has been tagged for speedy deletion because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service. This article may have been deleted by the time you see this message. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service. Thank you. skip (t / c) 07:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Glemm,


 * I'm not sure who Chris is.


 * The BizLink article hasn't been deleted yet, so it is possible that I made a mistake. If so, I apologize.  The speedy deletion tag simply suggests that an admin review the article.  If the article has been deleted in the past, it is considered bad form to recreate it repeatedly.


 * I agree that T-Systems also reads like an advertisement. I'm not an admin, and as it's already tagged for speedy deletion, there's nothing I can do there.  Borland is listed on Nasdaq, was historically important in computing, meets WP:CORP, was presumably written by people unattached to the company, and has multiple references and facts.  The article has existed since 2001 and has been edited by hundreds of different people.  I believe that it belongs in Wikipedia.


 * The link on my userpage to my homepage is specifically allowed by WP:User_page, and exists to show my identity and that I have at least some minimum knowledge of my major. A link to a personal website on one's userpage is fine.  The main article space is a little stricter: my homepage certainly doesn't belong as a link on any article, and so it isn't.


 * I tagged the BizLink article for speedy deletion because it does not assert notability, sounds like a press release, consists solely of links to the Bizlink homepage, and I felt that it was an advertisement. I've also tagged a fairly large number of other articles for speedy deletion, all of which have been deleted in the past.  The normal policy (WP:COI) is to wait for someone else to write about a company that you are involved with.  Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising.


 * As I am not an admin, I can't delete any pages. Due to the sheer number of new articles, I'm certainly not able to review all of them under WP:CSD, nor do I have an obligation to.


 * I see that you've placed in the article and argued for it on the talk page.  An admin will review that before deciding.  I've answered you on both my talk page and yours, you can answer on either place and I'll see it.  Thanks!
