Welcome
Hello, Lauriehakemail. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Kuru  (talk)  21:12, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Shop Solutions


A tag has been placed on Global Shop Solutions, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Some of your text (including the awards) is unsourced, but more to the point, those references I checked were not genuine third-party sources. they were interviewing you or regurgitating press releases. The Silicon Review is basically an advertisement, pure and simple
 * To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits, you only mention employees in the infobox, and no other financials.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * ™ it's not our job to protect your trademark, you don't WP:OWN the page
 * The only wikilink you provide is related to your software, Houston, Honeywell etc also have articles
 * You have an awards section, but no criticisms or mentions of competitors, very unbalanced
 * Examples of unsourced or inappropriately sourced claims presented as fact include: remained the largest fully private family-owned United States-based... zero debt... more than 20 industries in 25 countries... expanded into multiple industries ... throughout the entire U.S. market... accurate data&mdash; and so on. It's not as bad as some I've seen, of the "Buy our widgets variety", but nor is it neutral and factual. Company articles need to be impeccably sourced and written to survive, for obvious reasons

 * Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. You are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all because of this, but if you do, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Note that if you recreate, you should declare your COI on the article talk page too.


 * Restored text here. Please note that if the issues above are not addressed in a reasonable time, the article can be deleted again. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:34, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
