Speedy deletion nomination of QuinnoxInc


A tag has been placed on QuinnoxInc, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 13:03, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Help me!
Hi Alex,

Quinnox Inc.is a legitimate, global IT services company based in the US and has been in existence for over 10 years.

Was there a problem with our wikipedia page content? We wanted to make sure it stated factual info about our company/products etc and was not promotional.

Do we need to change our email address and user name because it has the company name as part of it?

Should an individual at the company set up an account with wikipedia in a personal capacity and then create the page for Quinnox Inc.?

If you could respond to the email address associated with our account we would be most grateful

Thanks and best,

 * The first problem is "we". Wikipedia does not allow shared use of accounts. Only one person may have access to an account, ever, and the username must reflect that. If several employees of your company want to edit Wikipedia, each of them should create an account of their own. If you want the user names to be associated with the company, a user name such as "John at Quinnox" would be acceptable.
 * Secondly, you should take a look at both the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use regarding paid editing and Wikipedia's guideline on conflicts of interest. Writing about your own company is not a good idea because, to be blunt, your close connection to the subject may cloud your judgement of what's promotional and what isn't.
 * That brings us to the third point: The content of the now-deleted article. It was extremely short on reliable, independent sources - when the best you have is a Bloomberg page, your company simply may not be notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. And I found the level of PR-style euphemisms and buzzwords rather high. Or does "leverage a cost-effective delivery mechanism" mean more than "make use of cheap Indian wages"?
