Proposed deletion of Mapflow
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Mapflow, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Bardcom (talk) 15:18, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

So, I guess there is some validity to deletion of the Mapflow "stub"... Mapflow, a company of only about 30 people, with a geographic reach primarily in the UK and Ireland doesn't necessarily merit an entry in Wikipedia. Several international publications *do* mention Mapflow, and Mapflow has done some major and groundbreaking work, but the long-term international merit of this work is still being established, so I don't dispute this may not be worthy of a wiki entry at this point, and particularly one which isn't fully detailed with references, etc.

I created this entry stub because I was aware of the company by association, and also because I was learning how to edit in wikipedia... both not great reasons, as mentioned in your criteria for inclusion guidelines. :-)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MapflowLtd logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:MapflowLtd logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
