Speedy deletion of Touchpaper Software plc

A tag has been placed on Touchpaper Software plc, 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ 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 (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. ukexpat (talk) 21:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~== Re: Advice ==~~

Thank you for the message you left on my talk page. First let me address the deletion process: I nominated your article for deletion on the grounds you stated, but it was actually deleted by an admin - only admins have rights to delete articles. Second, the questions you asked: the best way to start is to read the materials that are linked to in the Welcome message at the top of this page. After that, the —Preceding comment was added at 20:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC) ~~Strike-through text~~Oops double post -- see full reply below. --ukexpat (talk) 20:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second, the questions you asked: the best way to start is to read the materials that are linked to in the Welcome message at the top of this page. After that, there are more detailed guidelines and policies at the following links: WP:N - notability; WP:advert - advertising; WP:COI - conflict of interest. Other sources of help can be found at the help link in your welcome message. Thanks. --ukexpat (talk) 20:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Touchpaper Software plc

Hi, I deliberately did not "patrol" the new version of the article when it was first published because of my previous nomination, but I have just taken a look at it and it is much much better! It needs a little more work on the formatting, but all-in-all a nice job!--ukexpat (talk) 21:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Touchpaper

To sort out the article on Touchpaper article, you need to:

Get a lead section.
Keep it neutral
Keep out promotion if you can.

I actually work for the competition... but what the heck, figured you might as well know. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 09:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See the following to understand what a lead section is. However, someone else has already cleaned up the article (it happens). Here is the original version and here is the version I last tweaked. Also see the article diff. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 09:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
