Speedy deletion nomination of CompuCram


A tag has been placed on CompuCram, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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.

Reasons for deletion
First, the article was a copy of CompuCram's website. This is not allowed because that text is copyright and so it is incompatible with Wikipedia's licensing under CC-BY-SA 3,0 and the GFDL. Please see WP:COPYVIO. Second, the text was very promotional, is to be expected from a company site. Please see WP:SPAM. Third, there was no notability shown. Please see WP:CORP or WP:WEB as appropriate. In either case, please see WP:RS about reliable independent sources that are needed to prove it. The company's site is not independent, and sites like PRWeb and PRWire are just press release outlets, which rules them out too. Peridon (talk) 15:56, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
