Speedy deletion of LabVantage
[edit]
A tag has been placed on LabVantage, 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. Edison (talk) 20:25, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 21:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 21:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello,
With the idea of avoiding Edit warring, I'm writing to explain my reasoning behind the removal of the vendors links. You accuse me of "play[ing] God" when all I seek to do is ensure that Wikipedia's standards are followed.
As I stated before, Wikipedia has a policy on link spamming. You can find it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming
Verbatim: "Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam."
That's indeed what is going on with this vendor list, and that's why it's being removed.
There is a compromise, however. Please look at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ERP_vendors#ERP_vendors
Note how ALL of the vendor links lead to Wikipedia pages. We can include a list of example vendors, but only if they link to a Wikipedia page. Two of the vendors on the list you insist on reinstating do this. I'm willing to reinstate the list, but only include those with Wikipedia links. If this continues to get abused by other LIMS providers trying to promote themselves, then I see no choice but to do away with it entirely.
Regards,
