Speedy deletion nomination of ExecutiveSurf

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.

A tag has been placed on ExecutiveSurf, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. AstroCog (talk) 12:29, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion notification

The "red box" is a notification that an editor (in this case me) believes this article contravenes Wikipedia's rules and should be deleted. It will be removed either when an admin deletes the article or another editor disagrees with my assessment and removes the notification. You should not remove the notification yourself.

Status and Advice

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article, for the second time after another admin had just previously deleted it. It indicates no importance, and -- in addition appears to serve only as an advertisement for the company

Existence is not enough to justify a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and an article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. There was nothing to indicate any importance at all,--but even if there were some indication, without actually showing notability, the article wiould be quickly deleted by our regular processes

It also needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release. Remember not to copy from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.

However, unless you have good references as described above, there is no point in rewriting the article, as it will soon be deleted. If you do have them, put them in at the very first edit. If you insert it again in the same form, you are likely to be blocked. DGG ( talk ) 23:29, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
