Speedy deletion nomination of SEMF Pty Ltd
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 SEMF Pty Ltd requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, 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. Under 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 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. Dismas|(talk) 05:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Hello Wendyann83. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article SEMF Pty Ltd, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to you, your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

[edit]Thank you for this information! This is a very new area for us. My client and I are currently looking over the article to see how we can make it conform to Wiki guidelines. Wendyann83 (talk) 23:10, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
- Rather than how you can make the article conform to Wikipedia guidelines, ask yourself if you can create such an article. Begin by reading the general notability guideline and the notability guideline for companies. Ask yourself honestly whether SEMF Pty Ltd is eligible for an article under those standards. (I tried to do a web search for information about them, but all I could find was their own website and places that seem to be just repeating their press releases; so I doubt that the required coverage exists.) Have they received significant coverage in independent reliable sources? If so, gather references to that coverage, and base your article on what those sources say about them. Provide citations inline to those sources as though you were writing a research paper for school.
- Tell your client though that there is no way you can write the kind of article they want you to write: Wikipedia reports how the world sees the subject of an article not how the subject wants to be seen. If you do succeed in creating an article that sticks, other people will work on the article, and you will lose control of it. If reliable sources have negative information Wikipedia will include that negative information. —teb728 t c 12:36, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
