Help me!
Please help me with...

I am writing a piece on a technology company that is operating in the healthcare space globally. It is of interest because although a relatively small company it already supports a range of global clients in the EMS, Care in the Community and OutOfHours sectors. I think it is a company to be watched as the healthcare delivery is changing radically and a number of new models are emerging. Some other companies operating in subsets of these sectors are already on Wikipedia. My questions are: I have 10 reference sources - is this enough to be notable? And secondly, how long does it take for an article to be published if I put it up as an Article for Creation rather than posting it myself? Thank you

 * Hi Sehc2015. I will post you a welcome message with some informative links. It's impossible to say if the 10 references are adequate to establish notability per WP:CORP without vetting the sources. A draft going through WP:AFC can sometimes be reviewed and moved into WP:MAINSPACE within minutes. At other times it may take weeks or months or never happen if the subject is not notable. Creating an article in main space is quite possible, but does carry the risk of being deleted, e.g. under WP:CSD. Did this help? -- Sam Sailor Talk! 11:21, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Yes thanks Sam. Sorry I don't know how to and I have another question please. How do I hyperlink words in the article to other pages in Wikipedia? If I use the Redirect tool, the word REDIRECT appears in my preview and I'm not sure if the link is there or not. Thanks again.

Speedy deletion nomination of Valentia Technologies


A tag has been placed on Valentia Technologies, 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 "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. Please don't use Wikipedia as a mirror for the company's own pages, or its own claims about its importance or descriptions of why its products are useful.

Hi - I would like to contest this Speedy Deletion but I can't see a Contest This Speedy Deletion on the page - is this because it has already been deleted? If so, can I respectfully ask why other entities operating in the same space as Valentia Technologies have pages on the web that would have little difference to the one I created? I believe that there is an interest in VT because it is operating in a fast-moving, emergent technology sector servicing a monolithic sector that governments world-wide are trying to change and move into the present century. There are significant issues in the healthcare sector that can be addressed by technology. If I were to add greater detail on the environment and movement for change etc. would the article have a better chance at remaining? With thanks Sehc2015 (talk) 18:20, 28 September 2015 (UTC)


 * No, what we need is not an argument as to why you think this company is important or interesting. We need reliable, independent sources (see WP:V and WP:RS) that discuss this company and show that it meets our notability standards, see WP:CORP. Also, any article on the company needs to be written in neutral and not promotional language, see WP:NPOV and WP:SPAM. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:38, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I will do more research and then check the sources with you if that's ok. Thanks for all your help.
