Speedy deletion of Consciousness technology
A tag has been placed on Consciousness technology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ 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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 15:45, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Consciousness technology
A tag has been placed on Consciousness technology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Consciousness technology and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste: talk 16:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. It was not a bot that suggested that the article in question should be deleted; bots don't do that here.  I read it, assessed it and deleted it myself, after providing you with the information above.  Ordinarily that function is performed by two separate people, but to me the infringement was so clear that I moved forward personally, since I'm an administrator who does a lot of new page patrol.  There are a number of policies to which I think you might profitably refer; primary among them being our advertising policy, but I believe there are other specific policies that have a direct application to the article you offered -- our conflict of interest policy. the reliable sources policy and WP:FRINGE would be three main ones.  In a general sense, you may wish to learn more from WP:Why was my article deleted? and WP:Your first article.  If you have any further questions about Wikipedia policy, feel free to leave me a note.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. KevinCuddeback (talk) 20:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Consciousness technology
I have nominated Consciousness technology, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Consciousness technology. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Prashanthns (talk) 20:37, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Prashanthns (talk) 20:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
