Datameer
I believe the Page called Datameer should not have been deleted. We have many competitors with similar pages. This is a legitimate company and the content was fact based.
Teresa Wingfield (talk) 22:58, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- The problem is that the page was written as an advertisement, promoting Datameer as a "big data solution" and an "end-to-end solution". See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. If there are other pages here that you think are advertising, please let me know which ones. NawlinWiki (talk) 00:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
- Big data is a new technology category being used by the media, press, vendors, etc. etc. (honestly, don't know what else I would call it. An end-to-end solution just means all technology components to do something. So, I don't believe these are advertising statements. However, I am willing to edit the page if you can provide access. I can simply delete end-to-end. Thank you very much.

- If you can rewrite the article in a neutral fashion, and can cite reliable independent sources (see WP:V) to show that the company meets the notability requirements of WP:CORP, feel free to repost. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:34, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Can I edit the existing page? I've put lots of sources like The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal there, but I can add many others. I will remove end-to-end as you have suggested.
Teresa Wingfield (talk) 17:16, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
FYI, You can see our extensive coverage at http://www.datameer.com/index/news-events.html. We've been in every tech publication imaginable.
Thanks again.
Teresa Wingfield (talk) 17:30, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
I have added more references, one which explains that big data is a technology category. I have also taken out end-to-end. So, I think this is good to go. However, I do not know how to move this back. Please advise. Thanks for your help on this.

What kind of promote are you talking?? Its an NGO not a Company we are about 600-700 members... NGO is a Non Govermental Organisation, NGOs doesnt have any owners? I dont see any reason why you delete it? I think there are some missunderstanding, did you look at our Homepage, our work is helping people in different countries and we are just an NGO..?? We help the people on the different coutries, can you please place it online again nobody can have some profit through our page because we are not a company we work as a non profit organisation.

Deletion of yellow creek beagles
My page being deleted: Could you please explain why? Granted that I am new to this, but the reason given was because the page was a blatant advertisement of a business or company. The page was about a man named L.M. Watson and the Yellow Creek beagles that he established in 1908, and how they affect the beagles of today. Several books have been written about him and Yellow Creek beagles, several magazines have covered the subject, but he is dead, the Yellow Creek dogs no longer exist and there is no business or company, just an informational article. A few individuals were named to serve as an example of the lingering effects of the Yellow Creek beagles in today's show rings and as hunting dogs, but absolutely no intentional advertisements towards anybody in any form. Is there something I can "take away" from the article to let remain on Misplaced Pages?Laneline0932 (talk · contribs) 05:03, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

tour de munster
RE Page deletion
Hi Nawlin,
I think the tour page shoud be allowed as I believe it is the only non profit cycle in Ireland that is a multi day event. Also all cyclists who take part in the tour cover ALL their own costs. Also the tour is the highest profile cycling event in Ireland being covered by all the broad sheet papers as well as TV stations. The cycle itself is joined by Sean Kelly cyclist former professional cyclist. This is in no way a for profit organisation with most people in Ireland having at least heard of it!!. This year the 4 days were completed by 120 cyclists. We also have a number of professional IT people who will be adding to this page photos and further information. Historically this cycle has now taken place for 10 consecutive years and plans for it to carry on. Please respond as i do not understand your decision thanks mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpodonohoe (talk • contribs) 21:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Sabby Dhalu WP page deletion
Hi, could you tell me the reason for the proposed deletion of the WP i have created Sabby Dhalu. I was under the understanding only pages of relevance were acceptable on WP and i would consider Sabby Dhalu to be relevant enough to feature on WP due to her involvement in certain anti fascist pressure groups that feature in British news at the moment and anti racism work and also because she writes for the guardian news paper. If you disagree could you please specify why. Thanks very much Johnsy88 (talk) 14:38, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- It doesn't seem to me that she has any particular notability other than being secretary of this group. Is there any news coverage of her other than the one BBC profile? NawlinWiki (talk) 14:39, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

This or the Apocalypse
Nawlinwiki, I went to check out a band called "This or the Apocalypse". Log says you deleted it for lack of notoriety on December 9, 2010. Please reinstate the page. They are a signed, labeled band with two albums. Their are produced by one of the biggest names in Metal and the lead singer takes lessons with the premier metal vocal instructor in the world. If it needs more content, I'll volunteer to update the page once it is back online. But the point I'm trying to make is that they are legitimate and featured on Pandora Radio, MTV, etc. Thank you for your consideration on the topic. PS.

Sabby Dhalu WP page deletion part 2
Hi could you provide you input as to weather or not the article http://en.wikipedia.org/Sabby_Dhalu does not warrant deletion. I understand we have discussed this before and you agreed that given the new sources there was not issue with notability for the subject matter but editors who seem to have a POV due to their attempts to remove a label to UAF article that says they are left wing are now moving from UAF article to this Article due to Admin Lock being applied on UAF article page. they are discussing the issue here http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sabby_Dhalu. if you could shed light on this issue it would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to understand why this page was deleted.

What can i do to make this article acceptable? Thanks in advance for your help. (p.s. It's my first article and it's still work in progress. I will also make the subtitles better as well.. ty) Symphmayhem (talk) 19:00, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- You are working for their label; that's an obvious conflict of interest. The language was pathetic: "Musically their sound carries the elegance of Scandinavian symphonic metal like Nightwish and HB, but also carries a rugged American flavor. One notable element to Promise Land has always been their bold statements and messages from both the stage and in their lyrics." That's advertising copy, not an encyclopedia article. I assume you work in advertising, where that kind of thing is deemed acceptable. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:46, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- The article doesn't cite any reliable independent sources (see WP:V) to show that the band meets the notability standards of WP:MUSIC). I will look at the other articles you cited, but generally, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:01, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Born into the witch's cauldron A3
"No meaningful, substantive content" - really? It wasn't a lot, but it seemed to me more than would qualify it for A3. That's why I prodded it. LadyofShalott 02:54, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
- It seemed to me one of those "I just made this up" definitions. If you feel strongly about it, recreate it with the prod notice. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 02:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
- I won't do that now, but if the original editor recreates it, then I'll prod again. It seems to me I've seen something about this phrase or a very similar one recently - this makes me think it's not just something the author just made up (though I can see why it would appear that way). In any case, we do agree that the article as it was should not stand - we just differed on how it should go away. :) LadyofShalott 03:00, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

WyeSoft
Hi. You deleted my company's page because it did not show why WyeSoft was notable. I'm not sure if I fully understand.

ViaViente entry speedily deleted
Hi Nawlin Wiki,
I am attempting to put up a listing for ViaViente (company and product). I am not involved in the company in any way and have no conflict of interest. I have tried to deliver attribution and citations for all statements.
Can you please give me some guidance about what can be said for a simple company listing? For example, as long as a product has a certain % of the RDA for a nutrient antioxidant, then the product can be called an antioxidant product. I can demonstrate this with a link to the label. Also, I can cite peer-reviewed literature about the significance of antioxidants in human health.
I appreciate what you do to help keep Misplaced Pages valuable to all and look forward to your guidance.
Davidnbell (talk) 19:14, 16 December 2010 (UTC) Davidnbell
- As with many entries for health drinks, vitamins, etc, the problem is that showing that antioxidants are notable, or citing studies about antioxidants in general, is not the same as finding reliable independent sources about the specific product that the article is about. In general, it's just way too easy for these articles to slide into promotion and advertising. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:15, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Viaviente continued
Thank you for your prompt reply. I would like to describe the company and the product in simple, factual terms. The product meets the required FDA labeling criteria as an antioxidant product. Can you give me guidance about acceptable corporate descriptions and review a new draft?
Davidnbell (talk) 20:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC) Davidnbell
- You would need to show that the company meets the notability standards of WP:CORP, again by citing reliable independent sources per WP:V. The fact that the company makes an FDA-approved product does not make it notable. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:24, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, again...(I just noticed how to continue the same dialogue). I will review WP:CORP to see if it is feasible for this company.
I was not suggesting that the product's meeting FDA requirements made the company notable. I meant that the label makes it verifiable that the product is an antioxidant product.
Davidnbell (talk) 21:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)Davidnbell
Hi NawlinWiki,
If I establish notability per WP:CORP would that qualify the entry? Or are there other challenges in your view?
Thx,
Davidnbell (talk) 22:01, 16 December 2010 (UTC)Davidnbell
- The article also must be written in a neutral fashion per WP:NPOV. A list of ingredients, claimed effects, etc. for the product is going to make it seem like promotion and not neutral. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:05, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
OK, so it is not the journalistic standard of NPOV. My understanding of neutral is an objective presentation of verifiable facts, without editorial opinion. Can I post a draft in this talk space? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidnbell (talk • contribs) 22:27, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
- I would rather you work on a draft in your userspace, say, at User:Davidnbell/Viaviente. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:29, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
As you can tell, I am new to this. I will do as you suggest. I appreciate your patience.
Davidnbell (talk) 22:34, 16 December 2010 (UTC)Davidnbell
Hi NawlinWiki...if I draft in userspace, how to you see it without my making it a live post?
Davidnbell (talk) 19:30, 20 December 2010 (UTC)Davidnbell
- Userspace articles aren't private - I can read your drafts and so can anyone else. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:32, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
So I just leave it in draft and let you know it is ready for you to review? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidnbell (talk • contribs) 19:45, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Thx...it's there now. I should add that for notability I have included 3 articles about Keeland and ViaViente from the Dallas Morning News, which, according to Misplaced Pages, is the major daily newspaper serving Dallas, TX. Furthermore, Dallas/Fort Worth is, according to Misplaced Pages, the economic and cultural hub of the North Cental Texas region and is the 6th largest metropolitan area in the U.S.
Just saw your response to another, below, about a pdf of an article. I am tracking down the actual articles now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidnbell (talk • contribs) 20:56, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
I have added direct web citations for the 3 articles. One of the Dallas Morning News articles was published electronically and is not archived. An abbreviated version is listed on the Governor of Texas website, which I believe qualifies as notable.
Thanks,

Westbrook Technologies
Hi again - I have made significant updates to the Westbrook Technologies page. I have included a number of third party authoritative sources to verify Westbrook's notability in document management software. I have also followed how the other Document management system companies have done on their respective pages. Odonnetp (talk) 19:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Could you please explain why you have deleted Westbrook Technologies again? The article describes a major company that provides document management systems. The deleted article had third party references from authoritative source. Misplaced Pages has dozens of articles that describe companies and products. The article described what was in those citations and didn't blatantly push the product or company - G11 does not apply. Endless blue (talk) 16:20, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I thought the changes I made to Westbrook Technologies solved the issues. You said I cited "a lot" of press releases...I cited two, and one of them being because of an award that Westbrook had received. I figured even though it may have been a press release, it still shows that the company has some notability seeing as they have won this award. I also cited numerous third party sources, including two newspaper articles (from Jamaica's The Gleaner and New London's The Day), an online magazine article (Bank Systems and Technology), Westbrooks' partner ship with Microsoft, and two separate awards the company has received by I-Cubed and Deloitte. Citing the awards, even if it was a press release, surely must help in determining the notability of a major document management software company, does it not?
In response to you saying the article is just stating how wonderful the company is and how useful its product is, I stated and cited awards they have received to give the company notability...isn't that a criteria for having a Misplaced Pages page for a company? That the company has done well and has made newsworthy stories? I figured receiving awards would count towards this...it's not gloating, it's just a way to show that they are a major and notable company in document management software. And about the product, I thought it would be helpful to at least show the basic functions of the software and its capabilities. Many other companies listed under Document management systems have similar sections on their pages dedicated to how their software works and the great capabilities it possesses.
Based on my response, can you please give me more details as to why you've deleted the page? Again, I am a new editor and I'm still learning the ropes, but I feel that the changes I made and sources I cited greatly improved the article, showing that Westbrook Technologies, a major company, is worthy of an article. Please respond to me either here or on my talk page. Thank you and I look forward to your response. Odonnetp (talk) 17:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

WyeSoft Pro Typist
I do not own download.com, zdnet.co.uk, softonic.com or wareseeker.com, so surely that makes them independent sources by definition? Also, a software application is neither a real person, an animal, an organisation nor web content, and I thought the fact that thousands of people are using the program meant that it was notable. I can't be bothered to argue or repost anymore, I just wanted you to know that I disagree with your interpretations of these terms. LordLamer (talk) 07:21, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Creative Health Capital
Hi Nawlin,
I am trying to create a[REDACTED] page for Creative Health Capital, however, I received a speedy deletion from you citing an A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content). I would like to provide proof of Creative Health Capital's significance as a leading financial intermediary in the healthcare services industry. Creative Health Capital is listed by the NIC (National Investment Center) as a company that provides financing for various healthcare providers. Creative Health Capital has also completed over $1 billion in mergers and acquisitions, sale/leasebacks, senior debt financings, mezzanine debt financings and private equity financings. Its name may not be as recognizable as The Blackstone Group, The Carlyle Group or Goldman Sachs, but within its sector of healthcare services, Creative Health Capital is very well known and is a leader in helping healthcare services companies obtain financing to grow. Please show me how I could avoid speedy deletion. Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks very much in advance.

ViaViente speedily deleted
Hello, again, NawlinWiki. As I have previously explained, I am new to Misplaced Pages, but am an expert business analyst and writer. How can I address your removal criteria? (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content). Is significance a function of size? The previous administrator, Anthony Appleyard, seemed to confirm that I had met the verifiable criteria for general notability.
Let me explain the significance of a company like ViaViente. There are very few companies that are on a national consumer radar screen (e.g. Kraft, Coca-Cola). However, small companies such as ViaViente form the engine of innovation. That is why Coke and Pepsi, for example, have purchased innovation in the likes of Odwalla, Naked Juice, etc. This makes the small companies meaningful if not well known. In fact, in my area of expertise, which is the application of cutting-edge anti-aging science to consumer nutrition products, companies like ViaViente are often years ahead of the huge consumer products companies in adopting innovative testing programs.
Misplaced Pages users would benefit from having more information about companies like ViaViente that are early adopters of technologies (like ORAC and Total ORAC) that may not reach the mainstream for years.
Thanks for your help.
Davidnbell (talk) 16:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- It is not enough for you to believe that ViaViente is significant, or even to persuade me to believe that they are significant. Misplaced Pages requires that reliable independent sources (WP:V) have recognized the subject as significant per the applicable notability guideline, which here is WP:CORP. Otherwise, we get into never-ending arguments about whether someone's personal opinion is right. Arguments about whether a company is an "engine of innovation" or whether readers "would benefit from having more information" are inherently subjective, which is why we require third-party sources. In general, see Misplaced Pages:Up and coming next big thing. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:27, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Precisely! I could not agree more. We should stick to the General Notability criteria, which relates to verifiable (at least) regional, independent recognition. I did this. Yet, your recent deletion specifically states "explanation of significance." That is why I gave you an explanation. How else is an "explanation of significance" demonstrated? I have not interest in arguing. I want to meet hard criteria and so far the Wiki admins are using very vague criteria.
Davidnbell (talk) 16:40, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- You're not a reliable source. I can't cite David N. Bell as the source that establishes that ViaViente is notable. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:41, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
NawlinWiki. Of course I am not the source. I am talking about the references that I believe meet the General Notability guidelines.
Davidnbell (talk) 16:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
Furthermore, I just noticed the G4 reference. This is not a "sufficiently identical and unimproved copy." In fact, it is a wikified version by Anthony Appleyard.
Davidnbell (talk) 16:58, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- The sources about the company just establish that it's a company. They don't address notability. The sources about the ingredients are not sources about the company or its product.
Honestly, I've had enough of this discussion. Several Misplaced Pages editors have expressed the same concerns to you, and yet you argue on. If you want to pursue it further, please go to Misplaced Pages:Deletion review. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
First of all, thank you. This is exactly the kind of feedback about the sources I needed. It is very helpful and just the kind of concrete advice I have been looking for.
Second, just to keep the facts straight, you and Anthony Appleyard are the only editors I have communicated with. My communication with him was very constructive.
Merry Christmas

Hi! You have deleted the page which was not only notable but at least four references were provided. Two of the references were from government of India owned portals which shows the importance of the websites. you are requested to revert it immediately .

- Gee, how do you know that I'm not of Indian descent myself? Anyway, the fact that a website is listed in a directory of websites doesn't satisfy the notability criteria of WP:WEB. If you can find reliable independent sources that show that this site is notable per WP:WEB, feel free to repost. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:41, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

- Insulting me isn't going to get you anywhere. See Godwin's Law. I've explained what you need to do to have an article about this site, and instead of responding, you're calling me names. Continuing to do that will not get you any further responses and may get you blocked from the site. See WP:NPA. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:54, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- I am here for the sake of Misplaced Pages and to adopt democratic approach towards deletion or addition of any article. You are rquested to revert the article and start the discussion. You are not adopting democratic way of the process which is the main concern. If you are misusing the power of an administrator then your power can also be ceased and you can also be blocked. Such issue of deletion of Indian originged article by foreigner was already discussed with Jimmy Wales in details during his visit to India. Please adopt democratic way. Don not try to harass the contributors Samyo (talk) 19:02, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hello. I've stumbled on this page while discussing another article, but I felt the need to come to NawlinWiki's defense. Misplaced Pages is not a democracy. Misplaced Pages has policies and guildelines created by consensus of it's editors. Per consensus of it's editors, the Misplaced Pages community has decided on factors which an article may be deleted without discussion. WP:WEB is one of those factors and was applied to your article when it was deleted. This is not about you being Indian or the article being non-American and NawlinWiki likily put zero thought into the content of the article other than if it met criteria for inclusion at WP:N and WP:V and whether it was WP:WEB worthy. Calling them names will not get you any credit with Jimmy Wales =. I recommend you educate yourself on Misplaced Pages a little bit and try again later when you can support your subject's notability a tad bit more.--v/r - TP 19:24, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- How can u comment on the article which has already been deleted. I am talking about democratic approach. I know Misplaced Pages is not an experiment in democracy or any other political system. But its method of determining consensus is through the discussion. But in the case of SarkariNaukri.com, the article was deleted without putting either {{notability}} template to make other editors aware of the problem or the {{db-web}} template to mark an article for the speedy deletion process. I was informed through a message on talk page after deletion. Samyo (talk) 19:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- In the case of your article, the discussion happened during the creation of WP:WEB and it was agreed that the community consensus in the policy was enough to cover the consensus required to delete articles, if that makes sense. Basically, because the community came to consensus on what could be deleted without new discussion. There is no requirement to notify the page creator, it is done as a courtesy and in good faith. Instead of arguing with NawlinWiki, why don't you ask for your article to be userfied? Basically, if you feel your article can be improved then you can ask NawlinWiki to restore it and move it as a subpage under your userpage. You can work on the article until it meets our policies and it can be moved back into article space. The catch is that you have to improve the article. It could not sit in your user space as is indefinitely and if it goes uneditted for an extended period of time it could be deleted. That seems like a compromise, right? Apologies to NawlinWiki if I'm getting in business that isnt mine.--v/r - TP 23:03, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Just notifying you that I recreated this article you deleted and improved it by adding citations and cleaning it up a bit. She has news coverage as both an author, and as a child abuse advocate. I believe she meets WP:N even if she fails WP:Author. I realize it's borderline, so I won't be surprised if it goes AfD, but I do not believe the article is speedy worthy now.--v/r - TP 19:18, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
