Non-notable neologism. Proposed deletion declined by author with no explanation. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:20, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Note to reviewing admin A duplicate page was created at E-excellence, which has now been redirected to E-Excellence. If the result of this discussion is to delete this page, please remember to delete the redirect as well.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:23, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Page as it is is WP:NEO and a bit of an advertisement; but 'E for Excellence' is a much older term with wider meaning. If you look at pictures of U.S. Navy ships, for instance, often you'll see a large "E" painted on their superstructure - this means the ship received an excellence award. May be notable for an article, but not in its current format. - The Bushranger One ping only 17:44, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of notability. In fact close to speedy deletion, as the page appears to be promotion for EMF-the Forum of e-Excellence. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:48, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. & as an advertisement. (imho — speedy is appropriate…) Skarebo (talk) 11:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. e-Excellence refers to all the factors that contribute to excellence in the digital economy: availability of investment, innovative outlook, highly skilled personnel, success in the market place, quality-minded leadership, etc.  You have to wonder whether the people who type this stuff realize how unintentionally hilarious it is. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:22, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This article describes a concept (E-Excellence), an international contest for this concept and its prize distributed since 7 years (http://www.seal-of-excellence.org/past_winners) and a company who organizes the contest. Therefore it's not aimed as an advertisement, but for information source for people interested in this concept or contest or its organizers. Furthermore, it neither comply to speedy deletion, as G11 says: "Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." - Hardzsi (talk) 12:53, 14 December 2010 (UTC) Ferenc Hargitai (fhargitai@gmail.com) 213.178.99.67 (talk) 15:48, 9 December 2010 (UTC) — 213.178.99.67 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete no indication of notability per WP:GNG, no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources, borderline WP:SPAM. Note that another duplicate article European Seal of e-Excellence has just been speedied, created by one of several WP:SPAs that have been working on this.

 * The alleged duplicate page was merely an attempt to move content from one page to another. Deletion of the new page resulted in the content also disappearing from the original! If you interfere in any attempt to clean things up IN LINE WITH YOUR OWN GUIDELINES within minutes, my message to you is simple: the world CAN live without Wikipedia! By the way, do you have a policy against disparagement of your contributors by your administrators? see comment by Smerdis of Tlön aboveStuartmilljohn (talk) 16:27, 9 December 2010 (UTC) Stuartmilljohn (talk) 16:26, 9 December 2010 (UTC) — Stuartmilljohn (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Yeah, policy discourages disparagement of contributors. But you're not a contributor, just an opportunist leeching off Wikipedia for your own gain.  Our message is simple: Wikipedia can live without you. EEng (talk) 19:04, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I apologize for the above comments; they were harsh. But I still believe notability is lacking. EEng (talk) 15:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

(See E-excellence as of 17:08, 8 December 2010 vs E-Excellence as of 17:08, 8 December 2010). Since the two pages were identical, there can not have been any loss of content resulting from the redirect.

 * @EEng|EEng: I am positively appalled by the tone in use in this forum! Some people here really seem to believe that they are the mind police... I have no problem admitting that I made a contribution in which I have a special interest. However, it is also of interest to a wide community of people and having an article published in Wikipedia on the European Seal of e-Excellence will not engender any "gain" for me, nor for the 2 dozen not-for-profit organisations that support it. Are you accusing other NGOs (not to mention the thousands of commercial companies that have a Wikipedia entry) in the same way when they publish information about their activities???Stuartmilljohn (talk) 11:45, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * @WikiDan61: I moved the sections on partners and winners of the Seal that was previously on "e-Excellence" (where it was indeed not very relevant) to a new article on "European Seal of e-Excellence". These sections disappeared entirely when the latter entry was "speed deleted" (indeed, within a few minutes!). Could you restore them please? BTW, I still do not understand the reasons for deleting the "European Seal of e-Excellence" entry. It provided information about a well-established award that promotes innovation in the ICT sector. Nobody "gains" from this entry, besides the organisations that apply for the Seal and, after selection by an independent jury, may prevail themselves of having won it.Stuartmilljohn (talk) 11:45, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply I am not an administrator and cannot restore deleted pages. As for European Seal of e-Excellence, that page was deleted by .  You would have to contact that user to understand his or her reason for the deletion.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:19, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
