- I saw your comment on the help desk, and reviewed the deleted article. it violates several of our policies and guidelines. First, the article does not indicate why this site in important or significant. (See our speedy deletion criteria, section A7.) And it does not able from the article that the site is in fact notable. (See our General notability guideline and the specific guideline on notability of websites.) Also, the article as written looks like blatant advertising. All articles must have a neutral point of view. Furthermore, you describe this as "your" site or "your" company. According to our conflict of interest policy, you should probably not be writing about this site at all, anyway. if the site is truly notable, someone else will write about it. I hope that makes things clearer for you. DES (talk) 19:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
- I deleted the article because it fails to meet WP:WEB notability policy. I did some further research, like an Alexa Web Traffic ranking test, and I found it was ranked at around 2,700,000. In contrast, many articles on websites are usually allowed when the web traffic ranking is lower than 20,000. Nishkid64 (talk) 20:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
