Proposed deletion of Hotcopper


The article Hotcopper has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Fails WP:WEB.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Joe Chill (talk) 13:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Tonyc9, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Hotcopper, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Help Me
Guys can you please help me I am trying as hard as I can. Yes I have a conflict but there needs to be a page about HotCopper as it is a major site in Australia and people are asking about its history. I dont even know if you will read this.

As far as having a multiple person using my login yes that is correct. I asked an indian programmer that has some skill in wikipedia articles to help. I have now told him NOT to use my login but use his own.

I cant add these below links it is saying "invalid title" I guess due to the %27 etc.

They are coming up in the link find though https://edwardbetts.com/find_link/Hotcopper

I have told my Indian programmer to not use my account. He has confirmed that and is now using his own account.

There are still so many problems with the listing but I have tried so hard to get it fixed. Can I get some help please?

 * If you need help editing, see Help:Editing and Help:Link, in addition to the links in the Welcome message above. You can add "wikilinks" to other articles by adding brackets around words, e.g.  results in  . But since you have a conflict of interest, I strongly suggest you and your programmer read up on Wikipedia's three core content policies: Neutral point of view, Verifiability, and No original research. In short, articles should be based primarily on reliable, independent, secondary sources with a reputation for accuracy, and should not resemble advertising, or promotion. While I believe the website is notable, the article fails to clearly assert this, and instead seems to be mainly trivial details about the history of ownership and the logo, rather than focusing broadly on what the website is known for. See Writing better articles for  more tips. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:45, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hotcopper


A tag has been placed on Hotcopper, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
