Re:Deletion of The DOORKICK

[edit]

The problem with the article is that it had no references to reliable third party sources that prove the subject is notable. To have an article on the subject, you would need to present books or newspaper articles about it that prove its notability. - SimonP (talk) 14:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (organizations and companies) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

A tag has been placed on The DOORKICK, 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 that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and 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 DOORKICK 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. JohnCD (talk) 18:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of The DOORKICK

[edit]

A tag has been placed on The DOORKICK, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. —BradV 19:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear JohnCD, Orangemike, and BradV: I am so confused. I am brand new to Wikipedia. I was right in the middle of creating my article, tried to preview my changes and I received a message saying "my article was deleted while I was editing the article". I was unsure of what just happened. I didn't know that was even possible. I saw a check box that said "retrieve" or something to that effect. So I checked it. I got my article back and was trying to figure out references, footnotes, etc. when I got the same message again. Then I couldn't even finish what I was doing. I was already working with SimonP who told me that my article was deleted because I needed references like a newspaper article. So I was adding those and the patent info like on the POST-IT article. I was only trying to write a similar article to the POST it for the doorkick. I was deleted twice while I was trying to fix my first problem. I wasn't trying to spam/advertise, as I was being accussed of. I promise. I've only been on Wikipedia once before. I'm new at this. I was also trying to figure out how to save the article on a testing page so that I could send it to SimonP for review. I was never able to get to that point because I kept getting deleted. I'm not sure what to do now. I pasted my final attempt of my article below (I'm not sure if this was the version you saw, I know I had several out there): I am just truly just trying to define the doorkick. Please look at the POST IT article, I am trying really hard to do the same thing. please see below:

The DOORKICK[TM], invented by Dionna Mustybrook(Sacramento, CA)[1], is a vehicle interior door pad protector made with a vinyl top layer, foam backing, and can adhere to the lower interior door panel by way of a 3M removable adhesive[2]. The DOORKICK was designed to protect vehicle doors from scuffing caused by drivers or passengers kicking open their car doors. DRM (talk) 21:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there is anything I can change to help with my chances of ever posting this, please let me know. I am so sorry about this. DRM (talk) 21:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of Interest

[edit]

Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view, and so people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves or their own companies, because of the conflict of interest involved. For more advice, read carefully the Business' FAQ, in particular the sections headed:
