User talk:B h bryant
A tag has been placed on FlowMingle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of FlowMingle and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:04, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- If you want the article kept, I guess it will need a complete rewrite. Since you are the company's president, you should write the article using only reliable sources over which you have no editorial control. Blogs and blog sites, per a long-standing policy, do not qualify as reliable.
- Additionally, a section called "Guiding principles" will always be regarded by some as promotional, no matter what. In an encyclopedia article, statements of intent should be avoided. Instead, you should write about how, in the past, your goals have been achieved (or failed, should that be the case). That is, if you are able to provide independent sources attesting to the truthfulness of what you write. If you are unable to provide such sources, then it is better not to make any mention of your goals. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 11:18, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- You should review Items 1 and 4 of How not to be a spammer. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 11:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
