How do company pages work?
All of our customers have them on Wikipedia, but we were deleted. What am I missing here? Jonhearty (talk) 00:25, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

An article has to show a relationship of its subject with the outside world, through press coverage, user reception, and criticism — not through partnerships, which are not exactly outside world; they're secondary sources. Your experience being at the guts of the company makes your view skewed, with you knowing a lot more inner workings than the relationship an article has to focus on, and perceiving it as a minor uninteresting part of the company existence. Being in such position causes inherent issues with ability to get the article created with proper focus, and you should ask volunteers do to it, as described here. Thanks! --Gryllida (talk) 01:11, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Datanyze


A tag has been placed on Datanyze 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 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, you can place a request here. red dogsix (talk) 18:51, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Mercury (financial technology) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Mercury (financial technology), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

April 2020
Hello Jonhearty. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Mercury (company), gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Jonhearty. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Kirbanzo (userpage - talk - contribs) 16:24, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Jonhearty. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Mercury".

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:31, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
