User talk:TEMspecialist
Hi, and welcome. I deleted Telecom Expense Management for a couple of reasons. One, it was too much like advertizing. Articles that are adverts can be speedily deleted at any time. Also, it contained copyrighted material from http://www.busmanagement.com/pastissue/article.asp?art=26808&issue=165 (Wikipedia can't use anything copyrighted without permission, and most stuff you'll find is copyrighted). Lastly, judging by your username, I bet you're involved with TEM. Please read WP:COI: it's very important that people not write articles about topics they're personally invested in, since maintaining a neutral point of view in all articles is central to Wikipedia. Leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or want to discuss anything. Peace, delldot talk 20:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note and for being so good about the deletion. It really would be best if you'd wait for someone uninvolved with the company to write the article about it, per the conflict of interest guideline I pointed you to. If it meets Wikipedia's notability standards, it will eventually get written. If you must write it, I'd suggest doing it in your userspace (i.e. any page beginning with User:TEMspecialist/) so you can tweak it at your leisure rather than having it get deleted if it doesn't meet standards right away. That way, you can also show it to others and they can let you know whether they think it's suitable. Have you had a look at the notability standards for businesses? The article's very likely to be deleted if it doesn't meet that. Also, it needs a good set of reliable sources. And it needs to be written in your own words. But once again, I'd strongly suggest that you let someone uninvolved write the article. Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help. Peace, delldot talk 21:05, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
