Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Promotional articles about yourself, your friends, your company or products, or articles created as part of a marketing or promotional campaign, will be deleted in accordance with our deletion policies. For more information, please see our policies on advertising and conflicts of interest. --Orange Mike 00:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Furthermore, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not merely a repository of indiscriminate information. Not every subject merits an entry in an encyclopedia. We have to draw a line somewhere, and the notability guidelines are the community's consensus on where that line should be. --Finngall talk 02:08, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. IrishGuy talk 20:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory 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, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. IrishGuy talk 21:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Panraven 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.

A tag has been placed on WorldMate, 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 the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

A tag has been placed on WorldMate requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

Re:WorldMate
[edit]Hi, from the deletion discussion, it appears that the article was written like an advertisement.
I would suggest
- If WorldMate really is notable, show it by adding links to media coverage, achievements etc (3rd party links) to the article.
- Make it neutral and not advertisement.
Start writing in your own Sandbox : User:Andykatz22/WorldMate until its done, don't recreate the article in mainspace or the administrators will lock it. Unpopular Opinion (talk) 15:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm no one to review an article and "approve" it. I don't know how it differs from the previously deleted versions either. All I can say is try getting some feedback from admins who deleted it earlier. Unpopular Opinion (talk) 19:04, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
- I will try to make it better by adding infobox, image (company logo?) and more sources if I find any to establish notability. You might want to continue working on it, but I don't promise that it won't be deleted in the end. Some companies just aren't notable from Wikipedia's point of view (notability policies). Until now I haven't found anything notable about that company - its your choice if you want to continue working on the article.Unpopular Opinion (talk) 19:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
