Speedy deletion nomination of Computing.net
[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 Computing.net, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance 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.

What portion of the entry was in error or written like an advertisement? The site Computing.net has been around forever, referenced quite a number of times as a notable tech support venue. The style of the entry as drafted was modeled after the extant PC World Wikipedia entry (and referenced by the same in physical, international publication).

- I suggest you post a message at User talk:Fastily, since that was the administrator who deleted the article. Ordinary helpers such as myself can't see the text of a deleted article. -- John of Reading (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
