Speedy deletion nomination of VisEngine Limited


A tag has been placed on VisEngine Limited requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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. Alexf(talk) 16:12, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Wow thanks guys!!! So if I understand this correctly because I put a bio of my company here, it was automatically advertising? How is that any different from all 30 of the companies pages I looked at before making this one? I used 3M as a model who have links all over the place to their company home page, and this was the only link I used. Same as they did...Im sorry if Im so new to this that the only thing I am seeing here is that my company is not a multi billion dollar industry. I have no need for sales pitches here and respect the guidelines, my intent of this page was simply for those people who have heard the company name but did not know who we were or what we did, nothing more!!! If this page was so out of guidlines and spam, then why is the 3m page not? If the link to my companies homepage is your reason for deaming it spam, I will gladly remove all external liks.

 * The reason your article was deleted was not because it was overly promotional but because it did not sufficiently assert the notability of the company. 3M has a Wikipedia article because they are a notable company, as evidenced by multiple instances of significant coverage of the company in independent media.  Apparently, the editors who tagged and deleted your article could find no evidence of similar coverage for your company.  The reason you have been blocked, if it is not stated clearly enough above, is because your username appears to represent a company, rather than an individual, which violates Wikipedia's rules.  You are free to create a new username that does not represent your company.  Once you do so, you are also free to recreate the article about your company, if you can provide any evidence of notability that was not included in the first attempt.

Notability??? I was unaware you are unable to write sections at a time?? I though wikipedia is designed so that "Anyone" mat add or edit details.. Just because I hit the save button didnt mean I was finished editing the page...It was deleted even before I reopened the page to continue writing it. So I guess now I am to ask, who is the judge of notability?? because what this company does is notable and cutting edge, the design industry was not so developed as it is now, we lead our industry but writing that actually would be trying to advertise... I have blogs to write about that sort of thing. Encyclopedia reference???right??? So help me out here, saying I change the user name, my entry was not notable enough, why is it so? I didnt want to advertise or write a crabon copy of our blogs, I thought it is to be an encyclopedia reference nothing more...So if this is the case what is wrong with my content of the page besides the links, what more an I to give?

Nevermind, thank your for your time (VisEngine (talk) 17:09, 28 February 2011 (UTC))


 * Notability is judged mainly by the availability of independent, third-party coverage of the topic. In the case of VisEngine, a google search on the name shows only sites created or populated by the company itself.  A search in the Google news archives shows no coverage for the company.  To be sure, such searches are not exhaustive, and sources may exist.  However, your own claim that the company is notable is to be discounted because of your obvious conflict of interest with the subject.  It is for this reason that Wikipedia discourages users from writing about themselves or their companies.  If you really think VisEngine deserves a Wikipedia page, your best route (after you create a new username) is to request an article at Requested articles.  Once you have requested an article, other independent editors can take up the challenge of writing a neutral article about your company.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:13, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
