User talk:Advanide
A tag has been placed on Advanide requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Caesura(t) 14:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Also, if you are, as your user name suggests, an agent of Advanide, please carefully read our conflict of interest policy before creating the article anew. Articles about non-notable corporations or that have the flavor of advertisements may be deleted without warning. —Caesura(t) 14:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
The recommended procedure is easy. Just sit back and wait for your corporation to become notable enough that someone independent of your company writes an article on it. After all, Wal-Mart and Reliance Industries didn't need to come to Wikipedia to get articles written about themselves; they were so notable that Wikipedians independent of them saw fit to write an article.
It is critical to understand that Wikipedia is not an advertiser, a means to promote your company, or a business directory. Most organisations in the world are not sufficiently notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Even those that are should not write their own articles.
If you insist on going down this path, the first challenge will be establishing notability under our notability guideline for organisations and companies. You must establish that Advanide has been the subject of coverage in reliable, independent sources. For example, citing articles from respected newspapers would go a long way toward establishing notability.
If you can establish notability, then Advanide might be a suitable topic for an encyclopedia. However, you should not write it yourself. Please carefully read our guidelines on conflict of interest and spam to understand the reason for this advice and how to handle this difficult situation.
As I said, the best course is really to wait for an independent party to create an article about the company. If you want to get the ball rolling yourself, you could request someone else create an article at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and Economics/Businesses and Organizations. If you absolutely insist on creating an article yourself, even after carefully reading through all of the links I have given you, you should go to Wikipedia:Drawing board to request feedback from the community. —Caesura(t) 16:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Username[edit]
Sorry, one other thing. Your username does not appear to comply with Wikipedia's username policy. In particular, it seems to be a promotional username set up to promote your company, Advanide. Would you consider changing your username to bring it in compliance with our policy? Thanks. —Caesura(t) 14:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
