You appear to be writing articles from a promotional point of view. I'll assume that you were unaware of Wikipedia's policy on NPOV, which requires an entirely neutral point of view. You may want to add references and citations as well as removing stuff that looks like an advert. The article may be deleted if you don't. I fixed some major formatting errors too.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tata Communications Global VPN
Hello Mikehr102,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tata Communications Global VPN for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. &#9733;Saurabh P.  &#124;   &#9742; talk  16:42, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tata Communications Global VPN


A tag has been placed on Tata Communications Global VPN, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. &#9733;Saurabh P.  &#124;   &#9742; talk  16:44, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Response to message on o99o99's user page
Hi, I have actually just flagged the AT&T U-Verse article for being borderline promotional. However, your article was definitely more towards an advert than the AT&T one. Please | see this page on What Wikipedia is Not. All Wikipedia articles require a completely neutral | point of view Your article did not include the history of the business, any financial difficulties encountered, general customer reception, neutral technical comparisons etc. I'm not an expert on the field, but if I were to read that page it would not tell me an encyclopedic view of the (your?) company, but instead a long promotion. Business websites are for that.

As this appears to be your first contribution to Wikipedia, I'll assume that you wrote the article in good faith and that you were unaware of Wikipedia policies. If you want help writing an article that meets Wikipedia's policies, there are people to help here. Also, you could see | this article which outlines some alternatives to putting an article directly into the mainspace. Perhaps ask for your article to be made at Articles For Creation.

Best Regards, o99o99

RE. Rejected Articles
I noticed that your article has been rejected again. I really want you to be able to write your article, but it appears too much like an essay or too promotional every time. Look at this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-Optic_Link_Around_the_Globe   Try and model yours DIRECTLY on that. (i.e. the same sentence order, the same information types). After that, fiddle about with it to make it seem more unique. Make sure you cite stuff as much as possible - a quick Google will tell you how to do this if you weren't sure. Finally, make sure you ALWAYS compare your subject matter to similar things. Don't just talk about your cable - compare it to others. Make sure to focus on any disadvantages or difficulties with your cable so it doesn't appear promotional. If you drop me a line on my chat page, I can check over it if I have time.

I hope you aren't put off by Wikipedia - you simply need a different approach O99o99 (talk) 21:40, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
