AfD nomination of Zimmer dental

I have nominated Zimmer dental, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zimmer dental. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Richard Cavell (talk) 00:10, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my modified submission deleted? I removed the trademarks from the text and made it more objective. Nobel Biocare has a page and there does not seem to be a problem with their content. Thank you Troydanderson (talk) 18:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Zimmer Dental

A tag has been placed on Zimmer Dental, 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 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Whpq (talk) 00:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC) This is ridiculous. The information was factual company information, no different than other info on Wikipedia (i.e., Burger King). Troydanderson (talk) 23:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is entirely promotional in nature having been copied from the Zimmer Dental web site, and that is what distinguishes from other articles. You are welcome to write a neutral article that doesn't rely on copying the Zimmer website, but be aware that the artcile needs to meet notability standards, and be verifiable through reliable sources. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 11:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Troydanderson/Temp

Hi, Troy. I've moved your page to User:Troydanderson/Temp so you can work on it. Remember to cite reliable sources and write in a neutral point of view or it may be deleted again when you move it back to mainspace. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 00:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - it should be OK now. I made it pretty generic. Troydanderson (talk) 00:18, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How can I make it live now that I have revised? Thanks. Troydanderson (talk) 17:52, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article still contains copyvio content so it can't be moved to the mainspace yet. If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on User talk:Troydanderson. After you have secured copyright permission, then you should take the article to Wikipedia:Deletion review, since the article has been deleted per a deletion discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zimmer dental. If you would like me to do that, then contact me on my talk page when the copyright problems have been resolved. Cunard (talk) 22:01, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs to go through WP:DRV as I said above. Also, did you e-mail Wikimedia that you release the copyrighted content under GFDL? Cunard (talk) 20:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I emailed the permissions group, as you instructed and have not received a response. Troydanderson (talk) 20:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have asked Nihonjoe (talk · contribs) about the OTRS permissions here. Cunard (talk) 22:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nihonjoe has replied here. Did you receive a ticket number when you emailed the permissions group? If you didn't, please resend the email. Cunard (talk) 08:33, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The page has been deleted, as it was unambiguous advertising or promotion. In my experience it is rarely worth the time and effort it takes to provide copyright permission in such cases, as a business's own marketing material is almost never suitable for use in a Wikipedia article with or without copyright permission, as it is invariably promotional in character.
