But...
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ 13:24, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
The last time I added the information on SimiGon, I followed one of its major partner's Wikipedia site at Lockheed Martin. I added news sources and cites from public documentation. It was taken down as spam. Therefore, I added this very bland version and encouraged other people to do the same research I did, on the London Stock Exchange and several business-watch sites, including Panmure Gordon's equity research. Is there another approach I could take in adding the company's information? Itsmeshel 14:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- An article on a notable company would need neither flowery advertising terms nor utter blandness. You might like to read WP:CORP, our guidelines on what makes a company notable, plus WP:RS, our guidelines on what makes a reliable source. The article has now been deleted, but further information about this can be found on the former article's talk page. REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ 18:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
I followed that guideline, and just because a company is not large, it should not be subject to "arbitrary bias." Explanations of the company's products, written by equity analysis, is not "flowery" nor "bland." As excepted from the information you sent:
The following is a tool to help determine whether an organization (commercial or otherwise) is a valid subject for a Wikipedia article. The scope of this proposal covers all groups of people organized together for a purpose.
Simply stated, an organization is a group of more than one person formed together for a purpose. This includes commercial and non-commercial activities including, but not limited to, charitable organizations, educational institutions, institutions, interest groups, organizations, social clubs, companies, partnerships, proprietorships, religious denominations, sects, etc.
This guideline does not cover small groups of closely related people such as families, entertainment groups, co-authors, and co-inventors covered by WP:Notability (people).
"Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice". It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance". Please consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education. Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information from reliable sources that provide evidence of notability; however, smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations."

Hello Itsmeshel, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:Simigoncompanylogo.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Itsmeshel/SimiGon. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not readd the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 09:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of User:Itsmeshel/SimiGon
[edit]A tag has been placed on User:Itsmeshel/SimiGon, 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 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.
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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

The article SIMbox has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Only source is a press release, does not meet WP:GNG
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MrOllie (talk) 14:40, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
