The article NCH Software has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 12:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Express Accounts

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Express Accounts, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

advertisement

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Bachrach44 (talk) 15:06, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Express Accounts

A tag has been placed on Express Accounts, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. KurtRaschke (talk) 18:59, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

NCH

I notice you are including a lot of links to the products of these people http://www.nch.com.au . These fall foul of wp:el, specifically "Links to web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services, or to web pages with objectionable amounts of advertising. For example, in the mobile phone article, don't link to web pages that mostly promote or advertise cell-phone products or services." I suggest you stop doing so.

Speedy deletion of WavePad

A tag has been placed on WavePad, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Incivility etc

I have responded to you at Aitias' talk page. Please ensure you read WP:CIVIL. And WP:NPA. Thank you. I've removed your questions from here, as Aitias will see them on his talk page. --Dweller (talk) 19:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I saw the note on my talk page. Newbies often find our ways slightly tricky and Wikipedians are normally very prepared to discuss and explain things at great length to newbies. You should reflect that perhaps your ultra-aggressive tone has been the cause of you encountering even greater frustration from people unprepared to give you some time.

That said, here's some detailed explanation:

• You can find the reason it was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WavePad (2nd nomination). You might need to click through a few links to understand the contributors' rationales.
• Citing other bad articles is not a good argument for keeping another bad article - it's merely an argument for deleting all of them - we call that rationale WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. If it's your intention that the other bad articles be deleted, you can nominate them for deletion - see WP:DELETE.
• Because I am (amongst other things) an administrator, I can view deleted material. I took a detailed look at the article you posted. It includes no strong claim to notability. Worse, it includes no assertions from reliable sources that the topic is notable. Worst still, it is (arguably) written as if it is an advert. This is a bad combination and enough to ensure that any article about any topic is deleted. (Advert, if uncontrovertable and unfixable, is enough for speedy deletion). I know little and care less about the industry you're discussing/promoting, and had no involvement in the article's deletion, but I wholeheartedly agree with the deletion.

When starting a new article on Wikipedia, on any topic, it must pass WP:V or it will be deleted. Sometimes speedily. In short, it means that the topic must be the subject of multiple, non trivial mentions in reliable sources. If you would like, I can temporarily restore the article to your user space, for you to work on adding such "RS". Do you believe you can find multiple, non trivial mentions of Wave Pad in reliable sources? --Dweller (talk) 10:03, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

The only reason they've not yet been deleted is that we've not got around to it. See GoldWave now. Thanks to your agitating, we've now got around to it. Yes, you are aggressive and you have been uncivil - though not to me, as yet. Did you read the links I posted above? Try this one: Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? --Dweller (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Nomination of Broadwave for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Broadwave is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Broadwave until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Ckatz^chat_spy 22:37, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Content rottweiler.jpg

The file File:Content rottweiler.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
