Speedy deletion of NewsCactus
A tag has been placed on NewsCactus, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Rob Banzai (talk) 23:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note explaining your concern on the NewsCactus talk page. Alas, Wikipedia generally does not include articles about new businesses, or businesses which have not already achieved some substantial measure of independent press coverage (see WP:CORP for details).  One major reason is that everything in an article should be written in a neutral and verifiable way, with the verification generally going to an independent third party source.  For that reason, we generally prefer editors not work on topics which they are intimately connected with, to avoid conflicts of interest (see WP:COI).  While there are some articles about corporations, editors try as much as possible to cover them in a neutral way, removing anything which resembles advertising (which is strictly forbidden).  In fact, on occasions where a company was found to have edited its own page to sound more favorable (generally removing criticism), the usual media sources often report on it casting the company in a bad light (see, for example, Wired magazine coverage).  As such, I have gone ahead and deleted the page.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns; you can contact me by writing a note on the bottom of my talk page, User_talk:TeaDrinker.  Thanks for the interest in Wikipedia.  --TeaDrinker (talk) 00:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
