Speedy deletion nomination of User:Starkode
[edit]A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Starkode, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
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 deleted 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.

Contested deletion
[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (We are not promoting, we are adding company profile and history like others Apple, Peoplesoft, Oracle, Quickbooks, Gusto, Slack, Trello, Assana and million others more. We haven't add any link, price , promotions or any text that indicates promotional. Is any specific text that is wrong?) --Starkode (talk) 20:45, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- Naming your account after your company and trying to tell the world about your company is promotion. Wikipedia is not a business directory; companies are not entitled to have articles here just because they exist. Companies must be notable according to Wikipedia's definition of notability.
- Even if your company is notable, you should not be the one writing about it, as it is a conflict of interest. We have no interest in what a company wants to say about itself; only what reliable, independent sources have chosen to publish about it. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:09, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
