I have read about companies that are accepted on Wiki and the other links you have provided. From the company page, it seems that only Fortune 500 companies are accepted on Wiki. Franchises that have some unique quality are acceptable. What other category can I put AccuDiagnostics under so it's acceptable? Thank you. (Socialgirl 2009 (talk) 23:40, 12 September 2009 (UTC))

Speedy deletion nomination of AccuDiagnostics
A tag has been placed on AccuDiagnostics, 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 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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hello, What can I do to this page that will make it acceptable on Wikipedia? Thank you. (Socialgirl 2009 (talk) 00:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC))
 * The article does not indicate how the subject is notable by Wikipedia's standards. Please see WP:N for guidelines. ...  disco spinster   talk  00:53, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Help request
Hello, I tried to structure the page like Quest Diagnostics page on Wiki. What can I do to mek the page more like Quest Diagnostics page. Thank you (Socialgirl 2009 (talk) 02:35, 21 August 2009 (UTC))


 * Hi there. I'll try to help and explain; I might not be able to give the answers that you want, but at least things should make a bit more sense...


 * Firstly, forget about Quest Diagnostics. It's not a great example; we know that there are lots of badly-sourced, non-neutral and generally bad articles on Wikipedia, but that is not a good argument for adding more. If you want something to check standards against, take a look at featured articles or good articles.


 * Now, before I go further, a question: are you connected to the subject in some way, in business, or whatever? If not, skip this part. If so, then you have a conflict of interest, and thus it is very difficult to write a neutral, acceptable article. If this is the case, then we strongly recommend that you do not create the article. There are options available to create an appropriately sourced article in your user area, and then request that it is created. Please read this essay on best practice, and the business FAQ


 * Next - notability. In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is the general notability guideline, which says a subject needs significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That carefully-worded phrase explains quite a lot;


 * Significant coverage - such as, a number of news articles about the article topic - not passing mentions


 * Reliable sources - well, this is defined in some detail in WP:RS, but the essence of it is - something that is generally trusted - such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times. Books are good, too. Blog-sites are rarely reliable.


 * Independent - we don't use primary sources, such as the persons own website, or their publishers/labels website, or anything like that. We avoid press-releases. We want secondary coverage - other people independently writing about the subject.


 * I suggest that you consider working on some other existing articles - perhaps something of interest; I hope that you will continue to work on WIkipedia, and I assure you that I will help in any way I can. For more help, you can either;


 * Leave a message on my own talk page;
 * Use a - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put , and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~ at the end;
 * Talk to us live, with this or this.


 * Best wishes,  Chzz  ►  23:37, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
