Speedy deletion nomination of Amons


A tag has been placed on Amons 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 web content, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Reply to your comments on Talk:Amons
Wikipedia is not a business listing directory. The inclusion criterion is called Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about?

You cited Facebook and Dropbox, and if you look at the "References" section in those articles you will see that they have very large numbers of independent references, so their notability is not in doubt, and you will be wasting your time if you try to nominate them for deletion in order to make a point.

Since Amons has only released its beta version this month, it is most unlikely that it has yet acquired enough independent comment for notability; but it is not Wikipedia's job to help give publicity to startups.

If you are connected with Amons, please read Conflict of interest. JohnCD (talk) 23:06, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Advice
As reviewing admin, I think the article makes no case whatsoever for significance, and I accordingly deleted it; Among the problems, is that there were no third party references at all, just multiple links to the firm's own website. If you are quite sure you have multiple references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements, or derived from press releases, you could try to recreate the article. If you do not have them, there would be no point at all until you do.
 * As the article stood, I could equally well have deleted it under the criterion G11, blatant promotionalism. Wikipedia is an encycopedia, not a place to advertise your services.

The comment you placed on the talk page above was a threat of action you would take if the page was not restored. We consider this harassment, and f you should repeat it, you will be blocked for it. A formal notice to that effect follows DGG ( talk ) 23:16, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you purposefully and blatantly harass a fellow Wikipedian again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  DGG ( talk ) 23:17, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
