Speedy deletion of Paragent
A tag has been placed on Paragent requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Adding new articles
Hi, Monterey. I understand your frustrations, trying to get your article added to wikipedia. The tricky thing about Wikipedia, is that though it is easy to edit, it's actualy quite complex in it's workings, in regards to article creation, and the possibility to speedy delete articles, and what content articles should have. For an article to be included in Wikipedia, it needs two things: 1. The subject of the article should be notable. And 2. The contents of the article should be verifiable. To establish notability, typicaly secondary sources are needed. That means other media that talk about the subject. It is generaly not enough if they just mention the subject in passing. These secondary sources are also a great way to ensure the verifiability of subjects. The article you created looked as they were solely to promote the subject. This is seen as blatant advertising, and such articles can be speedily deleted for that. It doesn't matter if it's about something commercial or non-commercial, non-free, or free. I hope that clears things up a little. If you are still not sure about things, just ask here, or alternatively, at the helpdesk. Martijn Hoekstra 15:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
