Yesterday, I submitted a new page with a definition for Viral Decay Acceleration. I provided the following reference: http://www.koronispharma.com/viraldecayacceleration.html. It appears that this page is schedule for deletion and I'm not sure I understand why. Also, I'd like to know what I can do to publish this page on Wikipedia. Thank you.

 * There are a couple of problems. You say that you provided a reference. However, the site wasn't formed as a reference, it was included as a bare link in the external links section, so the article technically had no references, plus a poorly formed external link. The link didn't qualify as a reference, so it wouldn't help to format it correctly; it doesn't appear to qualify as a reliable source.


 * The term is trademarked, which doesn't preclude inclusion in Wikipedia, but it does look like someone trying to market a new term. When the only "reference" is the company involved with the term, it looks more like spam than an encyclopedia article. If there were multiple examples of the term in reliable sources, the situation might be different.-- SPhilbrick  T  19:40, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Viral Decay Acceleration


A tag has been placed on Viral Decay Acceleration, 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, 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. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 00:51, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Your request at my talk page
Yes, I will post the question at the noticeboard shortly-- SPhilbrick  T  18:11, 10 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much! WGR11 (talk) 18:14, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I posted the question here. I will try to monitor it, but if someone poses questions, you may be in the best position to answer. Note that if you start a response with a colon, it indents the response. I added one to your response so you can see. Not a big deal, but if you answer questions at the Noticeboard, it ill be clearer what is happening if you follow the convention. Click on the edit tab to see what it looks like, and you'll see I added two colons to my response.)-- SPhilbrick  T  18:36, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Cheers, thanks very much! I appreciate your time in doing that. This is likely the first and last Wikipedia post that I would do, so appreciate your assist.

 * A Quest For Knowledge did some research, and had mostly positive news. He also provided this link . which you may find helpful. He wondered, "should this be an article about Viral Decay Acceleration (a technique) or KP-1461 (the drug)?  Or both?" --  SPhilbrick  T  02:25, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
