Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, DevinCurrie. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 89.153.64.16 (talk) 19:07, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Maple Communications, 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". 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Response

[edit]

Hello Devin, saw your question before the article was deleted and just wanted to respond.

Most new articles here fail on the basic principle of having sources that show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Your company doesn't quite seem yet to fulfill the the notability guidelines for companies (although I've personally stumbled upon your homepage before, it's a neat product), so a rewritten article would probably not end up being accepted. Most people will also find it extremely hard to write neutrally about subjects they're too close to.

If on a later date your company indeed fulfills the notability guidelines, you can use the Article Wizard to submit an draft for review, summarizing what independant sources say. Although it's of course always best to just help us with the millions of other already-existing articles :)

Best, --89.153.64.16 (talk) 21:25, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
