Promotion
Please do not use Wikipedia to promote products, as you did at Optimsm. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:01, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi WikiDan61, thanks for the note. I indicated the new page so I could go back and add reference, etc. before the page got marked as SPAM. MikeVCM (talk) 18:34, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Mike, the page was blatantly promotional. References weren't going to change that. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:39, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

WikiDan61, I agree there was some promotional language on the page, most was factual, I'd like to be able to edit out the "blatantly promotional" parts, but now the page just redirects...is there are way to get it back? MikeVCM (talk) 19:07, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The page hasn't been deleted, merely edited into a redirect. Your original text is still available from the page history. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:08, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Still promotional, not going to be accepted anytime soon. The new page tag is not a substitute for an acceptable article. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:26, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Mike, I suggest you try creating a page at Draft:OptiMSM, and then once you're satisfied, submit the draft through the WP:AFC process. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:54, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Draft:OptiMSM concern
Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:OptiMSM, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:39, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:OptiMSM


A tag has been placed on Draft:OptiMSM, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles 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 is a rejected submission at Articles for creation, and it has not been edited in over six months. (See section G13 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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.
