Speedy deletion of Dayon!
A tag has been placed on Dayon!, 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 the guidelines on spam as well as 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), 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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Daniel, I find quite strange to remove that page when I'm comparing its content with for example: Java Remote Desktop or rdesktop or even commercial one... But anyway, is there any reason the table Comparison of remote desktop software must contain a link to an existing wikipedia entry? Marc cdo (talk) 00:51, 8 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The problem with the article was one of promotional tone. This was all though the article in a way where it would require a complete rewrite to tidy up. Have a look at wp:n and see if Dayon is capable of meeting the notability criteria. If it is then you can make a new article using non-promotional tone and independent references from reliable sources to prove the notability. If it does not meet the notability criteria then there is no point in making a new article as it will also get deleted. It is quite common for software not to be notable and it doesn't mean that the software is bad, just that it has not received significant independent coverage. Remember: Wikipedia is not a software directory. A lot of people put software Wikipedia when it would be better off in something like the Open Directory Project.
 * There is no absolute rule that says that lists and tables must list things that have articles but it is a commonly enforced policy on many list articles because it prevents the lists filling up with spam and other non-notable entries. Exceptions can be made for items which are known to be notable but where no article has yet been made or when it obviously makes no sense to enforce the rule for a certain list.
