A tag has been placed on Aero ActionWar, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alex, thanks for your note. The Aero ActionWar article was deleted twice it seems. I have to correct you on one point. Only administrators can delete articles, and I'm not an administrator. All I can do is add a tag to an article suggesting that it should be deleted. Anyway, to get to your questions, Wikipedia aims to be an encyclopedia, covering notable subjects in a neutral way. An article you wrote about your game is not likely to be neutral. Our Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guideline says that writing about yourself, or your projects, is not a great idea. I wish you the best of luck with your game, but it will be better if you wait until someone else writes an article about it. You mentioned that we have articles on things like Windows Vista and 2006 in video gaming, but those should be based on things that books or magazines have written, not on peoples' own opinions. Sometimes we fall short, and articles are just opinion, but that's not what we're aiming for. I appreciate that it isn't much fun having your work deleted, but Wikipedia has a very firm rule that legal threats (and "i will ... do what i can to contest then legaly" looks like a legal threat) are absolutely not allowed, and that people who make them get blocked from editing the site. Please be careful. Regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 00:58, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Help:Contents/Getting started might be useful, and Wikipedia:Help, my article got nominated for deletion! gives quite a good idea of when and how and why things are deleted. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:01, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
