Speedy deletion nomination of Guestready


Hello. A tag has been placed on Guestready 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 credibly 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 "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.

 * Hi, I've just deleted the article Guestready. While it certainly met the deletion criterion (speedy deletion criterion A7) I wanted to address the confusion you expressed on the now-deleted Talk:Guestready. Wikipedia's inclusion guideline, called "notability" (see the specific notability guideline for organizations), is centred on the availability of reliable, independent secondary sources, which should discuss the subject in-depth (i.e. not just in passing). The article satisfied the A7 speedy deletion criterion because it not only didn't indicate notability, but also didn't suggest that notability was likely.
 * Moreover, since you talked about the article in the first person plural on the talk page, and because your username obviously corresponds to one of the employees the article mentioned, let me refer you to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. {&#123; Nihiltres &#8202;&#124;talk&#8202;&#124;edits}&#125; 16:18, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Malunrenta,

Thank you for clarifying your reasons for deletion of our page. However, I believe there have been some misunderstandings that I would like to clear up.

I looked at your notability guideline for organizations), and I think the following sums that up: "Wikipedia bases its decision about whether an organization is notable enough to justify a separate article on the verifiable evidence that the organization or product has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization or product. Notability requires only that these necessary sources have been published—even if these sources are not actually listed in the article yet (though in most cases it probably would improve the article to add them)."

The following Google News search shows at least 10 articles from reliable third party news sources that have been published on GuestReady: https://www.google.nl/#q=guestready&tbm=nws&start=0 (everywhere were the spelling "GuestReady" is used, this is us). Additionally, I could send you quite a few additional links to news sources that published on us in Asia, the Netherlands, and France - we have 30 articles published about us in total.

Furthermore, I would have to disagree that none of these articles mention us in depth; almost all of them are full articles on GuestReady's business model and our place in the sharing economy.

Additionally, I can see how there might be a conflict of interest when I write an article on a company I founded, but I am not an owner, merely an early employee. Surely, almost every other company page on here will have been written by an employee of the company. All the information in the article is objective and verified through third-party sources - if you disagree, I am of course happy to remove or adjust the corresponding parts.

Would you, considering all the above information, consider reinstating the GuestReady wikipage? And if you cannot, could you clarify what would have to happen for the page to be reinstated?

Best, Jonna

Hi Malunrenta,

I have not seen your response to my clarification (above) yet. I am quite new to wikipedia, so perhaps I am sending the messages incorrectly? Could you verify that you see this?

Best, Jonna
