Speedy deletion nomination of VentureWeb


A tag has been placed on VentureWeb, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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. Wuh Wuz  Dat  07:38, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from VentureWeb, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Triwbe (talk) 07:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

 * First of all, the article was deleted not because it was about a company that provides a service, but because it was written as if to promote the company. It needs to be written from a neutral, independent point of view. Very often people closely involved with a company find it very difficult or even impossible to stand back and see what they write from the point of view of a detached observer, so, even if they sincerely intend to write objectively, they often cannot see how promotional their writing will look to an outsider. That is one of the main reasons what Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages editing on a subject in which you have a close personal involvement.
 * Having said that, the main thing required to justify the existence of an article is evidence that its subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Unfortunately I have often seen people new to editing Wikipedia who have their first article deleted for some reason such as promotion, carefully rewrite it to avoid that problem, and then see it deleted again because of lack of notability. I strongly recommend first checking notability before doing anything else. Other faults in articles can be cleaned up, but no amount of rewriting an article will turn a non-notable subject into a notable one, and if the subject is not notable then any work put into writing on it is very likely to be wasted. The most important places to check are the general notability guideline, the guideline on notability of organisations and companies, and the guideline on reliable sources. You may also like to look at FAQ/Organizations, which contains some useful information. I hope these remarks are helpful to you. Unfortunately my own searches have led me to the clear impression that the company does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria, but you are, of course, welcome to check for yourself.
