If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. + m t  18:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Mwtoews. I'm getting the idea of the whole thing now and it will make good content for blogs and articles about Wikipedia. It seems like we are not welcome to add content that is relevant such as adding a software in a list of software that is already there, or add a software company that has Fortune 500 companies as clients because it is not "worth it" according to the biased admin even though you provide independant references. Not only that but when you tell the admin that you are new and you ask him to edit the article so it complies with the rules he ignores it and delete the article anyway. Kind of a joke really but oh well...if some people get a power trip out of this good for them but I have better to do with my free help. ;)


 * No prob. Many new users face these sorts of things, and I've had several articles I started deleted since they were not deemed by the greater community to be notable. Of course "notability" is always a fine line to define. I find if you can provide many news-worthy references from reliable sources (e.g., NY Times, Time, etc.) that point out the notability, the article may hold. (I don't know anything about the company, so I can't really tell whether it should be notable or not.) Good luck! + m t  22:42, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
