Speedy deletion nomination of ChimpChange LLC

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 ChimpChange LLC, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello Lithorien Lithorien (talk): I respectfully disagree with your decision to apply the Speedy Delete criteria to my article on ChimpChange LLC. Unfortunately, since you applied the Speedy Delete on Christmas Day when I was away from my computer, I did not have a chance to use the "Contest this speedy deletion" feature before the article was removed. With edits, I would like to recreate this article, but not before running by you my reasoning for why this company is notable, and why my article was not "unambiguous advertising or promotion."

Regarding "notability", I believe the following points show ChimpChange to be an entity worthy of inclusion: ChimpChange is an app with over 100,000 downloads. It is poised to be listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). Investors will be interested to find - and, perhaps, add to, an article on ChimpChange. Similar companies, of varying sizes, have articles on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xoom_Corporation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TransferWise https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remitly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venmo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square,_Inc.

Regarding my article as being "unambiguous advertising or promotion", I would like to point out that I very consciously avoided hyperbole, intensifiers, or promotional language. You will find no adjectives like "unique", "easy", "quick", or even "cheap," or "safe." In one sentence describing its services, I did use the word "free," but is an unbiased description of the cost to users.

When I rewrite the article I will try to chose even more neutral language, present a larger context for its services - including the above list of competitors. I trust you'll find my adjustments satisfactory, and the article worthy of inclusion on these pages. ObAskin 18:28, 29 December 2015 (UTC) Ob Askin
