Speedy deletion nomination of Inforica


A tag has been placed on Inforica, 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. -- Σ  talk  contribs  06:42, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Contested deletion

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:55, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * In response to your question, it is because that those articles you mentioned were not promotion. To put it bluntly, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for factual knowledge, not a free webhost for advertising. That is what billboards are for. -- Σ  talk  contribs  07:11, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

So much wrong


 * The block is because nobody is allowed to use the names of companies as a username because it's seen as promotional. You can follow the steps above to create a new account.


 * The article was a copyright violation of the Inforica website, eg here, which reserves all rights. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. you didn't even bother to change it from first person (About Us...We...). I normally give examples to show why the text is spammy, but basically everything you have written is just promoting the company and trying to sell your products.
 * You did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines. references.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest - your honesty in this matter is appreciated. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage of the centre in reliable, independent secondary sources), you can post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest

Wikipedia does not accept money from any company to have an article. The company's that have articles are written by people who have read, understood and followed the guidance on writing encyclopaedia articles. Far more are deleted because they are copyright violations, spam, or gave no independent evidence of notability. Yours failed on all three criteria  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  13:26, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
