Welcome!
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jonova inc
A tag has been placed on Jonova inc 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 a company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 20:56, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Help me request
Hello, I see you used the template on your article's talk page, but didn't leave a question. If you were requesting help because your article was tagged for speedy deletion, please read the above notice. Your article is about a company and you have not mentioned why it is notable. For more information I suggest you read Wikipedia's guideline on the notability of companies or corporations. VI talk 22:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Your help request
Hi, you have correctly placed a hangon tag, but you did not provide any rationale here. Could you edit that page and add the reason why you feel the article is about a notable subject? The article still may be deleted, but your rationale could help. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 22:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I have reviewed your article.

Before I start, I would suggest that you follow some of the tips in the 'Welcome' message above, and work on other articles, before you create this one. By doing so you will learn more about the way Wikipedia works, and will have less trouble with your new article.

That said, I will now explain the problems - I hope you won't be put off by this; that's why I suggest working on other things first. I am trying to help you, and am only saying these things to prevent you from creating the article, having it deleted, getting annoyed, and giving up - that happens too often :-) Please stick with it for a while.

1. Notability - your article does not assert the notability of the subject. The only links are to primary sources - this is not enough; to assert notability, you need secondary reliable sources, such as a national newspaper, etc. Please read about verifiability.

2. References - all facts given in the article must be referenced. Think of it this way - the reader must be able to check the facts for themselves. For example, if you cite a newspaper or book, it would be possible for a reader to obtain the paper/book and check the fact for themselves. Unfortunately, if you cannot find reliable secondary sources for information, it cannot be put on Wikipedia. For example - I could say that I was the Queen of Sheba, and create an article about myself - but that would not be permitted. I could also create a myspace page about myself and my Queenhood, and cite that - but that would still not be sufficient. I would have to wait until the BBC News picked up on my Queenhood, and wrote a story about it. Then, I could cite the BBC article and create my page.

3. I have concerns over a conflict of interest. Are you involved in the organisation? If not, please disregard this paragraph; if so, you should not create the article yourself, and should not edit the article directly in mainspace. Instead, you should work on it in your user area, and, when you are ready, add it to the requests for article creation. This is explained in two other documents that you should read carefully; WP:BESTCOI and WP:BFAQ.

As explained at the top of this message - I really do hope that this will not put you off editing, and I hope you understand why all of these policies and guidelines are necessary.

If you did create that article as it is, it would be deleted very quickly - I am trying to help you to avoid that.
