Speedy deletion nomination of VSCO (VSCO Cam)

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 VSCO (VSCO Cam), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Article structure

Hi. I noticed that you have created an article, VSCO (VSCO Cam), that has been deleted three times as "unambiguous advertising". Please stop creating this page, and please pay attention to the messages you receive from other Wikipedians.

If you're going to create an article, you need to make sure that you do so in your sandbox, don't create articles directly in the main article space. And before you start, you need to read the Editing Wikipedia brochure carefully. (I have linked it above.) Make sure your works is supported by reliable sources, and that you include inline sources in your article draft.

The biggest problem with your article is actually the tone. It was deleted because your tone was "promotional". You are supposed to be writing an encyclopedia article, one that is based around simple factual statements about the topic. You need to strive for a neutral tone.

Looking at what you wrote, it's difficult to tell whether you're talking about a company, or an app. You start off by talking about a company, but switch seamlessly to describing the app. You need to be clear which one you're talking about, and be clear when you switch from one to the other. While neither is a perfect example, you should look at the Instagram and Pinterest articles for some sense of how you might want to structure an article. The Instagram article is still a bit on the promotional side, and the Pinterest one has problems of its own. But they're a step in the right direction.

Some specifics. You wrote:

VSCO is an art and technology company empowering and inspiring people everywhere to create, discover, and connect. IOS and Android users can express their voice through creativity. Artists share their creations using culture and photography through a journal shared among a community. This app allows users to post their art work with out playing the "popularity game" and not worrying about "likes" or "shares".

For starters, when you write something in Wikipedia's voice, it needs to be objectively verifiable. Would most social scientists who study disempowered communities consider this empowerment? If not, then you can't say that is it. And something that's "inspiring people everywhere" would be common knowledge to people everywhere. I'd be very skeptical of that claim, given that (a) I've never heard of this company, and (b) most people in the world don't have smartphones. Saying that people can "express their voice through creativity" is far too flowery language for an encyclopedia. Saying that artists "share their creations using culture" doesn't actually make sense.

VSCO is a family sharing application because of the mild violence and and drug references.

Taken at face value, this means that VSCO is used to share families, and that it utilizes "mild violence and and drug references" to do so. Which is a pretty disturbing idea, to be honest.

Please stop

Please stop trying to move your draft into mainspace. Please read the feedback I gave you (above) first, and implement it in your sandbox. If you can get it up to standard, then we can figure out what to do next. What you've done so far isn't helpful - please stop. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:04, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An editor thought the references were too weak to establish that the subject of your article is notable. Another editor disagreed and removed the speedy deletion tag, but providing additional references cannot hurt. Huon (talk) 21:31, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oh for god's sake

Your article is already at VSCO. Stop creating new pages. Stikkyy (talk) (contributions) 14:29, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of VSCO

The article VSCO has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence of notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
