Speedy deletion of HomeSeer
A tag has been placed on HomeSeer, 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 FAQ/Business 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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

HomeSeer article
Hi RTinker. I saw your request at DRV. If you decide to continue writing the HomeSeer article, you will need to step away from any interest in the company and write the material from a neutral view. You'll save everyone a lot of work if you do. The HomeSeer article has nothing to do with HomeSeer's view of itself or what it has to offer and has everything to do with what third party reliable sources are writing about the company. You should avoid using any information from the HomeSeer website or press releases in the article. Use information from books, newspapers, and scholarly articles. To get an idea as to what the article should look like, look at some of the articles listed at FA-Class Companies articles. If you need help with putting the article together, you can try posting a note at WikiProject New Hampshire, WikiProject Companies, or WikiProject Robotics. I hope things work out. -- Suntag  ☼  14:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

HomeSeer
In accord with the discussion at Deletion review/Log/2008 December 29, I have moved this article to User:RTinker/HomeSeer, a subpage of your userspace. Here's what you should do now:
 * Rewrite the article completely and carefully, making sure it conforms to basic Wikipedia policies like WP:Neutral point of view and WP:Reliable sources (none of the sources currently in the article would be considered reliable). It should not in any way reflect the perspective of the company, but describe it objectively.
 * When the rewriting is completed, click the "move" button at the top of the page (or use this link--but not until it's ready), and enter HomeSeer into the "new title" box. Then ask an admin to delete the redirect from your userspace.
 * Please note that even once this is done, someone may decide to list it for deletion at WP:AFD, which they have the right to do, but this will be a full five-day discussion and you'll have the opportunity to defend the article. Chick Bowen 20:34, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
