Messagevista
I've added the "prod" template to the article Messagevista, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Messagevista. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 16:19, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Please note that I have reverted your change to Short message service because it ignored the comment on that article "Do NOT add your SMS service or gateway here. Really." and because it contravened the Wikipedia rule of "Wikipedia is not a soapbox - Self-promotion/Advertising" - see What Wikipedia is not. If you wish content to be added that refers directly to yourself or to companies or Websites which can obviously be linked to you, the best way is to request (maybe on the article's "discussion" page) that someone else adds it on your behalf.

A tag has been placed on User:MessageVista, 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 which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which 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 the page 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. Calton | Talk 08:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
