Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes.

Squared World deleted
The article Squared World has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Gwernol 20:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Mike, I've also deleted Image:Mike.coppola.profile.jpg as it was a blank image and had no fair use rationale and wasn't being used on any articles. I'd like to ask you to take another look at the policy links I gave you in my welcome message. In particular our rules about conflict of interest, notability and verifiability. It seems like you are trying to use Wikipedia to promote your yet-to-be-launched business Squared World. Wikipedia's purpose is to record things that independent sources have already determined to be notable. Since Squared World doesn't meet that bar yet, it can't have an article about it, and Wikipedia is certainly the wrong place to promote it to notability. Thanks for understanding.
