User talk:Nicopoon

A tag has been placed on Productevo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Clicketyclack 20:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Regarding the comment on the talk page - The question of "spamminess" is not about inclusion of an external link, but the overall tone. The article was basically marketing material that would have to be rewritten entirely to turn it into a proper encyclopaedia article. Also, the article failed to explain the company's notability and back it up with sources. In fact, the article consisted entirely of pure contentless buzzwords that entirely failed to provide any kinds of hard facts about the company; It could be summed up with "Productevo is a software-as-a-service company." (It's somewhere, I suppose, with some famous staff, even, and has done something over time and perhaps even done something actually remarkable, but the article doesn't focus on these kinds of highly important issues at all...) This is not the kind of content we are looking for, regrettably. If you feel the company really meets the corporate notability criteria and the facts can be backed up with reliable sources, by all means, feel free to recreate the article. You may want to look at other articles about companies to get inspiration and general feel of how these articles are organised and what kind of information the articles need to have. Happy editing. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 22:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
