Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Mediflow
[edit]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 Template:Mediflow, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Luke (Talk) 19:56, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion answer
[edit]Hey Klanghauser, and thanks for having an interest in Wikipedia. I marked your article as "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". That means that the article will need to be fundamentally re-written to become encyclopedic. On Wikipedia, we want everything to be from a neutral point of view with un-biased commentary on the subject of the article. Wikipedia is not a place for advertising or promoting your company. In addition to the advertising, your company must meet notability guidelines, located here and here. To sum it up, you should try not to write anything you are connected to and the subject of the article should have significant coverage by reliable, independent sources. I hope this clears up any confusion about this. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page or at the Teahouse, a place for new editors to ask questions anything Wikipedia-related. See your around! -- Luke (Talk) 19:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
