The article you created
I cannot reinstate the article because, as stated, it would be a copyright infringement. Firstly, if you did author the site from which it came, it would have to be explicitly released under the GFDL licence. Secondly, copy and pastes of entire websites which already exist are not encyclopedic, so even if you were to release the content under the GFDL, it probably still wouldn't be accepted, and besides what would be the point when it already exists on your site? If you feel the urge to create an article about PCVs in general, you may create an article from scratch, but please bear in mind it must be written in a neutral tone, using verifiable and reliable sources. Also, have a look at some articles created to assist you in writing an article on Wikipedia – the links are in the welcome message above. Hope this helps. – B.hotep •talk• 09:27, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, as a side note, is the term "PCV" or "personal commuting vehicle" widespread? If you were to put those terms in an internet search engine, not a lot of references to that term come up? Hardly any of the manufacturers refer to them as such, apart from #1 Google hit: – a company I think you may be familiar with? In which case, please see WP:COI too. – B.hotep •talk• 10:11, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Now that's in the open: no, it wouldn't be acceptable. Firstly, Wikipedia is not the place to be starting new terms, and secondly, it would be seen as a way of circumventing WP's rules on promotion and advertising. – B.hotep •talk• 10:14, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, Wikipedia is not the place to be "sparking public discussion". It is not a forum. It represents known facts which are verifiable from reliable sources. See what Wikipedia is not, for further information. – B.hotep •talk• 10:19, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: Personal commuting vehicle
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Personal commuting vehicle meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Personal commuting vehicle. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. – B.hotep •talk• 20:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
