Speedy deletion nomination of User:GaidakM[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:GaidakM, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

September 2016[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at User_talk:Murph9000, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. 220 of ^Borg 20:00, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Hi, thanks for message. two separate issues

You can only use your talk-page for Wikipedia-related material and some very basic information about yourself. If you look at my User page, you can't tell what I do or who I work for from it. Writing about a company or yourself or anything else on your user page will get it deleted. Your user page is not blocked though, so you can use it for its intended purpose if you wish

Now, your article is also problematic

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. The factual part of your article had no references at all
I can't see any verifiable facts to show how it meets the notability criteria. No figures for sales or downloads, it appears to be just another of the hundreds of non-notable software items we re constantly being bombarded with
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.

Adding reviews, especially just self-selected positive ones is just promotion. Your article stands on whether its notable under our criteria, not whether you can find people who like it.
Conversely, your reasonably neutral description of the product has no independent third-party sources to support what it says, or any facts beyond the description

If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your product is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
If you work directly or indirectly for the company, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:GaidakM. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GaidakM|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
