Speedy deletion nomination of SATMAP Inc.

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on SATMAP Inc. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your submission at Articles for creation: SATMAP Inc. (April 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Millermk was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:SATMAP Inc. and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get real-time chat help from experienced editors.

A tag has been placed on SATMAP Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Practical matters

You may ask the deleting admin if they will "userfy" the text that was deleted. If you do this then you must use mature judgement with editing it. In order for this organisation to have an article in main namespace it must pass WP:CORP, which also means it must not have even the scent of advertising about it, and it must be solidly referenced. We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42.

I suspect part of your coursework is to work within the rules of Wikipedia. What you did was unwise for two reasons:

You took a cavalier decision to migrate a draft that was wholly unready to the main namespace, and did;t have the good sense to remove the WP:AFC banners, thus raising a large red flag to the reviewing community that you had done this
You didn't submit yourself/selves to the review>edit>resubmit process in any meaningful way. Had you done so I suspect you might have had an article ready for acceptance and grading

The Draft: and sandbox areas are there for you to use wisely. I imagine your tutor explained this to you. Wise use is not leaving them too soon. Wikipedia. as you have learned, and as is a presumed part of your course, is a harsh place. You have learned how easy it is to edit. You have also learned that it is not simple.

@Timtrent: Thank you for your comments. Our group will be working on how to improve the article as a draft, as we seek further advice from our professor and the administrator on how we can comply with both the course guidelines and the Wikipedia guidelines.

I wish you success. Wikipedia is by no means perfect, but we strive for perfection. Fiddle Faddle 06:42, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please ask your tutor if they are a member of Wikipedia:Education program. If they are not then they, too, have something to learn. Fiddle Faddle 06:46, 18 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
