Speedy deletion nomination of UMPlayer


A tag has been placed on UMPlayer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button 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 |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pianoplonkers (talk • contribs) 13:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 14:12, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Please see here; unless your software is notable (with proof of its notability) it does not belong on Wikipedia. If your software is good, then just wait for someone else to write an article about it in an unbiased way. Don't be offended your page has been taken off - it happens all the time. Thanks for using Wikipedia, and if you believe your block was un-necessary you may appeal it using the link in the yellow box. -Andy4789 (talk) 14:30, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

None of what you said in your unblock request addresses the reason for the block, which is using Wikipedia for promotion. I have seen the article you wrote, and it was indeed unambiguous promotion. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:38, 25 May 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to reply to this in an administrative fashion, since I already declined above. However to answer your question - just about anybody else is better to write about it. Several reasons for this - (1) being so closely connected, you often have little objectivity with regards to your product (2) you may want to include excessive trivia that is needless to include in the article (3) you may want to include poorly sourced information that you know well but that hasn't been documented in any reliable source.  Believe me, there are plenty of topics related to what I do that I want to work on but I avoid them like the plague. Syrthiss (talk) 15:04, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
