Webmarketcentral has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt the subject might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability for the relevant concerns. An example of notability guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (websites). If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

November 2007[edit]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to One-time password. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Oli Filth^(talk) 21:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Zanby[edit]

A tag has been placed on Zanby 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 web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —αἰτίας •discussion• (Happy new year!) 14:43, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Astrocom[edit]

A tag has been placed on Astrocom, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Thingg ^⊕^⊗ 23:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Astrocom logo.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Astrocom logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Service request management[edit]

I have nominated Service request management, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Service request management. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. —Ash (talk) 14:26, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Userfying of Sopheon Corporation[edit]

Hello there. I see you were creating an article in the WP:Sandbox. Because the sandbox is cleared out so often, I moved the page to User:Tomcat66 g500/Sopheon Corporation so that it won't be removed. You can edit it as you like there, and then it can be moved to the articlespace when necessary. — GorillaWarfare ^talk 21:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

December 2010[edit]

Your addition to Sopheon has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Some text was copied word for word from Sopheon's website e.g. "A number of prominent analyst firms have recently reported growing end-user interest in product portfolio management software." You cannot simply copy/paste content into Wikipedia Biker Biker (talk) 22:05, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Biker Biker - my apologies, that text came from a third-party source and I wasn't aware it was used on the company website. Can I restore the page if I remove that sentence? Tomcat66 g500 (talk) 22:15, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I find it strange that the one sentence I picked came from the company's website. To be honest the whole article as you have re-written it reads like an advert written by a paid-for editor or somebody with a very close connection to the company such as an employee. I know I should assume good faith but your comments like "used with permission" on the logo you uploaded make me very suspicious. If you have any connection with the company you should carefully read WP:COI and then consider your next steps. It's your choice on whether you reinstate the article (minus the offending paragraph of course) but I will likely delete more text as well as adding various "problem" templates depending on how much is put back. --Biker Biker (talk) 22:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an employee. My only goal is to replace the very sparse information currently here on Wikipedia about this company with a more complete, but properly encyclopedic, description. I'm not out to "market" or promote the company in any way. I appreciate your assistance, and I hope that we can work together to end up with a company description that is fully up to the high standards of Wikipedia. Thanks! Tomcat66 g500 (talk) 22:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So why did you say "used with permission of Sopheon plc" when you uploaded the logo? --Biker Biker (talk) 22:43, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because the company is perfectly okay with using their logo on their Wikipedia page. Regardless, the logo has been removed from the info box for now and I'm not sure I'll take another run at that. Are you still concerned with the copy though? I'd like to be able to get rid of the "This article is written like an advertisement." message. I really do want the copy to be encyclopedic and meet your standards. If you have additional concerns, please let me know. Thanks again. Tomcat66 g500 (talk) 22:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know the company is "perfectly okay with using their logo"? Did you ask them? (which goes back to my point about COI). The article is terrible and is written like an advert. I have already deleted several sections which have clearly been copied directly from the company's website. Frankly I'm tempted to revert all your changes back to the version that existed earlier today. --Biker Biker (talk) 23:06, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did ask permission (using contact info I found in one of their news releases). But again, I'm not pursuing the logo issue. I understand the customer information may have seemed too promotional. I sincerely want to make this a good article and hope you will help me do that and not just take it down. Tomcat66 g500 (talk) 23:13, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot rely of a user stating that someone gave them permission to use their copyright material. We must have verification. See Wikipedia:IMAGE#Requesting_images_from_others for how to proceed. Active Banana (^bananaphone 23:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I understand that - the logo has been removed, it is a non-issue, thank you. Is it possible to get some of those problem templates removed? I thought I had made it clear that I'm not an employee and have no COI, so I'm not sure why that one was added. Regarding notability - Sopheon is a publicly held, multinational company. And as for the first two templates: the previous information on this page was very sparse. I attempted to fill it in with a more complete description of the company. I'm not trying to market anything, just improve Wikipedia by providing more information. I'd really like to work with you to make this a better article. Will you help me do that? Many thanks in advance. Tomcat66 g500 (talk) 12:41, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Sopheon logo.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sopheon logo.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Biker Biker (talk) 22:08, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
