Speedy deletion nomination of User:StrideSearch


A tag has been placed on User:StrideSearch, 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 and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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. 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. TreacherousWays (talk) 21:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it contains information regarding a search engine. This article is not promotional nor does it contain anything that infringes copyright of any kind. The source is cited if you consider the whereabouts of the content of the article sketchy.
 * Nothing sketchy - but you've mistaken Wikipedia for some sort of web-hosting site or link page. It may seem to be an indiscriminate listing of whatever anybody wants to put here, but I assure you that if it wouldn't be printed in a paper encyclopedia it will (eventually) get deleted fromthis space. What you've written is pretty much a small advertisement. Perhaps it would help if you looked over the section on notability. TreacherousWays (talk) 22:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at User:StrideSearch
Welcome to Wikipedia, thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from User:StrideSearch. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps: Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willing to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:56, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of what username you choose - Wikipedia is not a noticeboard, and is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 22:18, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted because...
This page should not be speedily deleted because other pages discussing search engines are on this website. For example, I recently searched Google on this website and found an article basically describing Google as a search engine, who founded the company, the various products Google has released to date, its value on the stock market, etc. Why is a search engine like Google allowed to have a Wikipedia page and not Stride Search?

When I created this account and a page related to the search engine, Stride Search, please note that I am an individual, not a group. I understand your guidlines as well as your terms and conditions and had no intetions of violating either nor had any intentions of violating any national or international laws. I have always requested permission where appropriate before linking another site to my own or adding information regarding a certain topic to a topic I've already started discussing on my search engine.

Please consider unblocking my account! Thank you for your consideration! If you wish to contact me, you may reach me at stridesearch@hotmail.com. I hope to hear from you soon!
