Speedy deletion nomination of Fair Trading Technology


A tag has been placed on Fair Trading Technology requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so 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 page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Karthik Nadar (talk) 13:08, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

About Fair Trading Technology
Hi. I've removed the speedy deletion request (which was inappropriate to begin with) from this article, but I also noted that the article needs some significant improvements. I would suggest that you look at WP:GNG with regard to notability; the article needs citations from independent sources (not the company's own website) that discuss this company and provide some indication of its significance. Also, some basic proofreading and copyediting would be valuable. For example, the introductory sentence ought to provide some basic "who-what-where-when" facts like where the company is, when it was founded, and so forth. Finally, the tone of the article needs to be revised to meet our Neutral Point of View standards; for example, "A new standard had been created and the revolution has been started" is not exactly an objective statement. Good luck, and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 18:02, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Russ I have now edited the post and added references to outside sources, tried to make the tone of the post more neutral. Please feel free to give me tips and pointers as to what more needs to change.

Thank you for your input and feedback! Wretman (talk) 08:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC) Wretman


 * It's still pretty bad. Linking to marketing pages from the vendor is not a good reference. Defensible claims from trusted external sources. I've also tagged as an advertisement. Please read and review the Neutral Point of View standards again. SteveLoughran (talk) 09:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Cloud Computing 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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 article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.. SteveLoughran (talk) 09:42, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Fair Trading Technology


The article Fair Trading Technology has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * I removed all the advertising that was done via references - and no refs are left. The article is still all ads and is simply not notable

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
