Reply:Reply to deletion
The page that was developed for Globalair was taken from the design of Flight Aware Wiki page. How can this not be an issue? You are stating that our page is spam but theirs is not? Something is not right here and I would appreciate if someone would just explain what to do. I wish to play by the established rules and have attemted to do everything up front. I have reviewed the guidelines and thought that what we produced was valid. As you can tell I am new here, Please help :(


 * Re AirNav and FlightAware: arguments based on other stuff exists will not get you very far, we are talking about this article, not those. If someone, and I would strongly advise that it is not you, writes an article about GlobalAir that (a) demonstrates its notability with reliable sources and (b) is not written like a press release or advertisement, then yes, that article would probably survive on Wikipedia. – ukexpat (talk) 20:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

This page shouldn't be marked for deletion because it IS a credible source of information for wikipedia. Yes the page was written by people within the company, but that was only so that the information given was accurate and correct. I feel that the page could use some cleanup as any page on wikipedia can, but to delete it for spamming is unacceptable. There is no actual marketing within the wiki, the links all lead to appropriate and useful information that can help people within the aviation industry, such as weather, flight planning, ect. Also, GlobalAir's competitors for example AirNav and FlightAware have been allowed to create and maintain their own pages on wikipedia, so in all fairness why can't GlobalAir be on Wikipedia to? On top of this AirNav and FlightAware's links are spammed all over Wikipedia, in the airports template and the states pages. All GlobalAir is trying to do is create a useful wiki page which users can use as a valuable resource in their everyday lives, and this is why I ask you to allow the GlobalAir.com wiki page to be on Wikipedia.

Edit: Between the time I read your notes and was able to type up a reply, you guys have deleted the wiki page even though a hangon tag had been placed within the wiki as well as block this account from making changes to wikipedia?

AfD nomination of GlobalAir.com
I have nominated GlobalAir.com, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/GlobalAir.com. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Wildthing61476 (talk) 18:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of GlobalAir.com
A tag has been placed on GlobalAir.com, 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 blatant 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 as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 18:21, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

 * In reply to your e-mail, since you indicate that all you care about is your company's coverage on Wikipedia, I will take no action. We do not allow corporate accounts to write about themselves, directly or indirectly. If your company is notable, someone else will write about it.  Sandstein   06:58, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
