Speedy deletion nomination of Taxamize Accounting


A tag has been placed on Taxamize Accounting 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. AllyD (talk) 19:48, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article

On the now deleted talk p., you said "This organization is a national organization that has franchises throughout the US and has also developed a proprietary software that is featured in the article. The organization has been in existence for nine years and has no representation on Wikipedia.

The other national tax organizations like Jackson Hewitt and H & R Block are featured on Wikipedia, and it seems only fair that an organization that is growing while the others are reducing in clientele be featured in an objective light in the encyclopedia.It is only fair to keep this article in the encyclopedia because of this companies establishment of new software technology in the field of tax preparation. If changes are in order that is understandable, but total deletion is rather harsh when other similar organizations that have not made technological strides are featured."

This is irrelevant to our criteria for inclusion. A Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. There is no other way we can judge: we go by the sources. The article had no such references: it was entirely referenced to you own we pages, and to basic IRS publication which do not mention you. A Wikipedia article also needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise the organization or person, say what they do. . Remember not to copy from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. (Thus, there is generally no purpose in giving permission; it is better to rewrite.)

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective clients or franchisees--that sort of content is considered promotional.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity. and remember that if your organization is notable, other people will know it, and write the article. That you have to write it yourself tends to show just the opposite.
