== Order out of confusion ==

I have looked into this at ]'s request and lets see where we are at so we may all understand it.

When considering deleting a page if Speedy deletion does not apply then normally a first Proposed deletion {PROD) http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:PROD is applied to a page.

In this case the Article for Deletion (AfD} http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion was attempted to be applied but was not done correctly.

If ] had applied this correctly then Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Sproxil is where we should be with comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Sproxil however in my opinion this has not been properly activated. Admins prefer us to use the PROD procedure before invoking the AFD procedure.

Assuming good faith the reason for deletion is that the Sproxil article appeared to them to be "(Written like an advertisement.)" normally <nowiki>{{advert}}</nowiki> http://en.wikipedia.org/Template:Advert on a page denotes this.

I suggest the following:

1. If someone wants to recommend deleting this page they should post here and follow the PROD procedure or speedy deletion criteria first, assuming this has not been done before? in which case they should use the Afd procedure if appropriate.


2. I will remove the notice placed on the front page of this article and place it on the talk page for reference.


3. I will alert the helpdesk to what I have done, if they so wish they may decide that starting the PROD procedure is appropriate if that happens then we follow this procedure since Afd has not been properly applied.


4. In the meantime I suggest any efforts made to make this article more Encyclopaedic and less like an advert would be well spent. The better job you do the more chance of rescuing the page should someone decide to delete it.

Opinions welcomed!

==Blank Afd notice==

This blank Afd notice was applied to the page and I have moved it here off of the article

<div class="notice" style="background:#def; border:1px solid #468; padding:0.5em; margin:0.5em auto; background-color:#EBFFEB;">'''Nomination of ] for deletion'''


<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article''']''' is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to ] or whether it should be].

The article will be discussed at ] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

Please see my note above as to why I have made this move. <span style="color:black; background:yellow; border:2px solid black; font-weight: bold; padding: 2px 2px 0px; -moz-border-radius:4px; -webkit-border-radius::4px; -o-border-radius:4px; border-radius:4px;">]</span> Please do say 'Hi!' 20:42, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

==Feedback on improving this article==

May I suggest a picture might be nice? ]

One that wont get deleted would be best!

Review the Category's are there more appropriate ones? Consider template boxes and navboxes? Edit other pages and see what works well elsewhere, learn and adapt, enjoy wikipedia! Remember to declare COI, remember to edit from a NPOV, Edit in whats verifiable and notable and referenced and NO independent research or ]

Should ] attack or assuming good faith a ] do dodo and mess up your article wait consider what of the change may be worth salvaging 'Don't Panic' and edit don't revert more than 3 times a day, I suggest less {remove the oxygen the fire dies and the excitement is somewhere else...}use the talk pages ask other reasonable editor for assistance or guidance.

== Needs copyediting for tone ==
This is a great idea, and the company is to be commended for what it's doing -- making money ''and'' doing a major social good at once is awesome -- but the article reads like it was written by their PR agency. Could we please tone down the purple prose? -- ] (]) 18:04, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
