Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 20:50, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I am only trying to get my legitimate company name into Wikipedia. I have no intent to "advertise." Others names are there. Trend Controls for instance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trend_Controls Why can they have their company "defined" in Wikipedia and I cannot? Sure is confusing.

 * Well, first you shouldn't insert promotional text into disambiguation pages. Second, it's probably not a good idea to write articles about subjects you're connected to. Third, your company has to meet the notability guidelines for corporations, with reliable sources to back up those claims. As for that other company, that article does have its own issues, but all articles are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Its existence does not justify the existence of other articles. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 21:29, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Transition companies


A tag has been placed on Transition companies 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 an organization or company, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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". 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 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. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 16:10, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
