Speedy deletion of BurlyHost.com
[edit]A tag has been placed on BurlyHost.com 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 a company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.
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. justinfr (talk) 02:37, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit]If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article DreamHost, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. As the creator of a (now deleted) article for a rival hosting company, you have a conflict of interest and should not, therefore, be placing speedy delete tags on the articles relating to your competitors. -- Scjessey (talk) 03:32, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Many of your G11 speedy tags look incorrect
[edit]Hello AfreeUsername. You're being discussed at DMacks' Talk page. You are welcome to add your opinion there. I recommend that you stop nominating articles for speedy deletion. You reverted the speedy tag at DreamHost after another editor removed it, which is against policy. In any case that article survived an AfD previously, so it cannot be considered for speedy deletion. Since one of your articles was recently deleted for G11, this makes us think of WP:POINT. Violations of that policy often lead to blocks. EdJohnston (talk) 04:00, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Please refrain from tagging articles as criteria for speedy deletion. Instead, pitch in and improve the article. gsk - talk - 06:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
