The article Informatica Security Corporation has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 10:59, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Company articles
[edit]Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business listing directory or a vehicle for any kind of promotion. It does not expect to have articles about every company. Article subjects have to be of enough general interest for an encyclopedia: the Wikipedia term for that is Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have other people, independent of the subject, thought it significant enough to write about? More detail in Notability (organizations and companies).
Also, articles must be written from a neutral point of view, and so people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves or their own organizations, because of the conflict of interest involved.
For more advice, read the FAQ/Organizations, in particular the sections headed:
- Why doesn't Wikipedia have an article on my organization?
- I think my organization deserves an article on Wikipedia but none exists. What can I do?
