Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Vectrix (cybersecurity company)


A tag has been placed on Draft:Vectrix (cybersecurity company), 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. CommanderWaterford (talk) 21:03, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

How did you come to write about this company? For a new editor, your very first edit was extremely well done. 331dot (talk) 06:28, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you; I simply referenced other similar software companies to see proper formatting/details. I am writing about this company as someone who works in industry and finds the company interesting and notable. I anticipate writing about other, like companies as well.YoungerBloke (talk) 19:28, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If you work in the industry, please review conflict of interest(and/or this plain language explanation of it) and explain how your contributions will be consistent with that policy. 331dot (talk) 19:40, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification and assistance. With regards to potential COI, I am an unaffiliated individual that works in the same industry (cybersecurity). I plan to leverage unbiased sources on the topic(s) to show alignment with Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and submit draft proposals in a neutral way, requesting editor assistance where uncertain. Further, disclosing these same details where appropriate. YoungerBloke (talk) 19:57, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I would like other administrators to offer their views; they may also take action if they wish without consulting me, but if none does, I will come back. 331dot (talk) 08:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I just wanted to see if there was any update on this? Thank you in advance. YoungerBloke (talk) 18:13, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Younger Bloke. I notice that your very first edit here was correctly formatted throughout, which is very unusual for a new editor. Have you contributed here under a different user name before? If so, you must tell us. There are problems with your draft, but they are a lack of genuine independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines (Unlikely for a company founded in 2020), and the tone which is basically "this is what we sell" rather than real facts about the company. I'm happy for 331dot to make the call on whether or not you should be unblocked, but even if you are, you will need to produce something more convincing than the previous effort. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  11:04, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would like to know that as well. 331dot (talk) 19:45, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi and, this has been "on hold" for a while. If I see correctly, YoungerBloke is currently not interested in doing anything else than creating new articles about this or other companies in the same industry. While their promise to disclose their work area when editing about such articles seems to be commendable, I'd rather say it's an alarming sign that such disclosures are expected to be needed for future contributions. I personally would prefer the user to stay far away from the area that led to the block, both for trust reasons (the block reason shows severe distrust to a degree that led to a block; the points raised in the unblock discussion about possible sockpuppetry don't improve the trust either) and for neutrality reasons. If you agree, please mark the request as "declined for now", and if it's just for the lack of response to the last question. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:03, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * ~ ToBeFree, as the blocking admin, I don't think it's appropriate for me to decline an unblock request, happy to leave that to others Jimfbleak - talk to me?  18:59, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , sorry, that part of my message was primarily intended for 331dot. :) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:00, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
