Speedy deletion nomination of Verito


A tag has been placed on Verito 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  04:44, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Help request
HOW DOES VERITO contribute any less than other High IQ Society pages, such as Mega Society, Intertel, etc.??? I don't see how it contributes any less and would like an explanation rather than it just being deleted. Also, is there any way of retrieving the text?? This is upsetting. -Nick7544


 * I have moved this down, because new contributions usually go at the bottom of talk pages, to keep the conversation in order


 * Wikipedia has an inclusion criterion called Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it important or significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:Notability (summary).


 * Your article gave no reference about Verito except its own website. Since Verito is so new, it seems likely that it has not yet attracted enough independent comment to qualify. It is not an encyclopedia's job to help publicise new things; it only covers things that have already been the subject of independent comment, on which an article can be based. An article should be more than just the organization telling the world about itself - see User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for some background.


 * If you think you can provide references to substantial independent coverage of Verito, you can ask the deleting administrator, user, whether he will "userfy" the article - move it into a draft page in your user space where you can work on it. But think hard about notability, because if Verito is not yet notable in Wikipedia's sense, you will be wasting your time.


 * If you are connected with Verito, you should read Conflict of interest and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.


 * If you wish, I can in any case email you a copy of your text. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
