Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Flexiv Robotics

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 Draft:Flexiv Robotics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://wiredworkers.io/cobot-applications/, https://www.therobotreport.com/flexiv-brings-in-nearly-100m-investment/, and https://roboticsandautomationnews.com/2020/12/12/flexiv-launches-100th-adaptive-robot/38853/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

Thanks for the message, please read the following regarding writing an article

• you must 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 organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, 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 organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls

• Some of your text, including the listed awards, are unsourced. Some of your sources are not appropriate, they include blogs and unauthored press releases. Some of your refs are incomplete, notably Kolbeinsson, where you don't give any of the publication details, not even the authors or the book title. You shouldn't be using cite web for hard copy publication anyway. What does "default title" mean? And you reference Inside as two separate but identical refs

• The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:

1. significant coverage in
2. independent,
3. multiple,
4. reliable,
5. secondary sources.

Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.

• I think to show notability you need some better refs than you have, PR and similar isn't enough. Also some financial info would help. Please alsoname the city where it is based, California is too vague.

• you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.

• I've removed some opinions

• there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.

• Your text is littered with url links, I've removed a few, but there are many left. Link to a wikipedia article if there is one, if not leave unlinked

• Copyright looks OK now

Hi Jimfbleak,

Many thanks for your help and suggestions. At least i managed to fix the copyright issue!

I will have another look at the URL's and remove the ones that don't link to a wiki page. I will also sort out the Kolbeinsson reference, and make sure that no social media/blogs are included.

I linked the awards to the organizations that gave them, but that was before i knew that i should not include URL's that point outside of Wikipedia! Do you think citing the organization that awarded them will be more appropriate?

This Wikipedia business is truly a learning experience, everyday is a school day!

Kind regards,

A tag has been placed on Flexiv Robotics, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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".

Hi Pickeledicae,

I just found out that my Wiki page on Flexiv has been deleted!

I have to say i am more than a bit disappointed about this. It was written in a neutral tone, and i included relevant citations and references. It is the first page i have ever made, so i can understand if it was deemed to be less than perfect, but i honestly thought i did a decent job. I think including a wiki page on a company that developed a whole new type of robot would be reason enough to include it on Wikipedia.

I follow the robotics industry closely, and to say that an adaptive robot is a game changer is an understatement. I mean its a robot that uses artificial intelligence to solve problems and learn. In the future these things will replace 90% of the labor force, and there is currently nothing on Wikipedia about adaptive robots.

Is there anyway i can get the draft back so i can remove the elements that were deemed relevant for a speedy deletion?

Kind regards,

Some advice on getting underway with editing

My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
