Speedy deletion nomination of HFBS


A tag has been placed on HFBS, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 07:26, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

August 2016
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:34, 16 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Do you explicitly agree to stop trying to create article about or post links to HFBS? OhNo itsJamie Talk 13:41, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * If there is already other Wiki articles about software solutions that are similar to HFBS eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRofus why is there specifically an issue with me posting a similar one about HFBS? I do agree that I will use my account not just for posting about HFBS as I understand that promotion of a company is not the purpose of Wikipedia. However I should be allowed to create articles on subjects that I am an expert in (and this would be one of them). If I edit the content of the post regarding HFBS to be purely information regarding what the system does and who developed it does it not comply exactly with whatever rules were applied when you allowed the above mentioned software to post on Wikipedia?
 * Further to my above point I should also mention that HFBS (Health Facility Briefing System) is not a new piece of software. It has been around for a long time & there are numerous mentions of its use on the internet by government health authorities such as NSW Health in Australia, the Dubai Health Authority, and the Abu Dhabi Health Authority. The software is used by government agencies to design hospitals and entire healthcare systems for countries, the software is used (actively by several government Authorities) for the betterment of Health Services & plays a very important role is the way these services (Hospitals, Clinics, Dentists, Optometrists, ect.) are provided to citizens. It is not a startup software company, it is a highly established piece of software used to plan & make important decisions relating to healthcare in countries, so I think it is worthy of a mention on Wikipedia.HealthFacilityBriefingSystem (talk) 04:34, 17 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by HealthFacilityBriefingSystem (talk • contribs) 04:17, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Please can you clarify how the software HFBS is non notable or if there is further information I need to provide? There are numerous mentions of its use as being mandated by health authorities eg:

http://www0.health.nsw.gov.au/policies/pd/2009/PD2009_035.html http://www0.health.nsw.gov.au/policies/pd/2009/pdf/PD2009_035.pdf As I have explained in my comments above that the software is currently used to design hospitals and health facilities for entire countries, which seems fairly notable.HealthFacilityBriefingSystem (talk) 04:49, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Has your software been covered significantly in reliable sources (in Wikipedia's sense of the phrase)? If so, please post some links here as examples to establish some notability.  (Note that, because I'm not an administrator, I cannot unblock you.) -- Gestrid (talk) 05:04, 17 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes HFBS has been covered by highly reliable sources, I have provided an example of such sources above & will explain them further in the following sentences. This is a link to a NSW Health Australia government policy website mandating the use of HFBS: http://www0.health.nsw.gov.au/policies/pd/2009/PD2009_035.html. Furthermore the link to the PDF (http://www0.health.nsw.gov.au/policies/pd/2009/pdf/PD2009_035.pdf) from this web page which is also a document published by NSW Health Australia specifically states on page 5: "Australasian Health Facility Guidelines (AusHFG) and the Health Facility Briefing System (HFBS) are the standards used for all NSW Health capital project planning and construction.". This official document describes processes and procedures for approving health facility guidelines, and incredibly important and note worthy part of the healthcare system.HealthFacilityBriefingSystem (talk) 05:16, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, those are all primary sources and can't be used to say something is notable in Wikipedia's very special sense of the word. Has the product been covered significantly in the news?  If so, can you link to a few news articles or news videos about it?  Also, I suggest you read all the links I've given you (both here and above) so you know what kind of sources you need in an article. -- Gestrid (talk) 05:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Other than official Australian government websites specifically mentioning in detail the use of HFBS as a mandated system to be used in the highly important process of designing Health facilities (provided above) there are multiple third party mentions of the use of HFBS for example the following article describing HFBS and its developer HPI: http://www.healthcareinfocus.com.au/2013/04/health-projects-international/ as well as this published book on Health System Design (I have highlighted the term HFBS in the link): https://books.google.com.au/books?id=Aj-5BAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=HFBS&f=false. Surely these third party sources and the primary sources provided validate that HFBS is a system used in an important and noteworthy process related to healthcare. I can also provide other primary sources similar to the ones provided above for NSW Health Australia from the Dubai & Abu Dhabi Health Authorities confirming HFBS is mandated as a tool to be used in their health facility design processes. I understand that this topic may seem somewhat obscure for anyone not involved in healthcare or hospital design however in a world where technology is becoming more prevalent these obscure processes are becoming automated. A software system such as HFBS that is directly mandated by the government as the only system that can design all Healthcare facilities that an entire country or region rely on in times of emergency (as i have categorically proven it is above) seems incredibly important and noteworthy.

 * Have you reviewed conflict of interest yet? 331dot (talk) 10:10, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
 * My reading of the guidelines is that if a 3rd party other than myself creates a Wikipedia article for HFBS citing the above primary & secondary sources it should be compliant with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines and the notable guidelines. From there I can only contribute suggested edits if I declare my conflict of interest. Is this more or less correct, if so I can completely agree to abide by that rule, thank you for your help?HealthFacilityBriefingSystem (talk) 03:18, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * That's the way it works, though most people would prefer if you don't edit the article at all and instead request that someone else edit it in a specific way by commenting on the talk page of the article and using the request edit template to let others know that you're requesting an edit. Below the template, you would write exactly what you think needs to be changed, including any reliable sources that would need to be included.  Since you finally seem to get it, I suggest you request a username change again.  To request it again, just do the same thing you did last time, and make sure your reason explains what exactly you will do differently (i.e. what you said right above this). -- Gestrid (talk) 06:13, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, one more thing: If you're being paid to create or edit any article, you must declare your conflict of interest in a very specific way. Follow the instructions here to declare it.  Not declaring your conflict of interest for paid editing will get you blocked, as it's a violation of the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use. -- Gestrid (talk) 06:17, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
