Hi,
The page about which you inquire was deleted as a result of Wikipedia's proposed deletion process. Under this process, the protest of any editor -- including yourself -- is sufficent to get the article restored. I will do this shortly. The assertions that led to the article's deletion were not mine, by the way. They were written by the person who nominated the page for proposed deletion.
One of the concerns that might have inspired the deletion proposal is the conflict of interest posed by your username. While editing on subjects in which one is personally involved is not forbidden, it is discouraged. Wikipedia operates according to the principle of neutral point of view, and it is assumed that editors personally involved in a given company might have difficulty remaining scrupulously neutral. For the sake of the long-term viability of Specto Design's article, you might consider whether it is better to simply leave the article alone: if the company truly is notable, then surely some uninvolved editor will become interested and compose an article on the subject.
The restoration of the article does not guarantee it will be maintained. Any editor may still nominate the article for a full deletion debate, where all of the issued raised regarding the article can be deliberated by the community.
If you have any other questions or clarifications, please feel free to ask. You may respond here, on your own talk page. I will be notified of any reply. Best wishes, Xoloz (talk) 17:55, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
Thank you very much for taking the time to explain the process and for restoring the page. We are fairly certain that non of the partners or employees of Specto Design, Inc. have created the wikipedia page "Specto_Design". I was notified yesterday by a staff member that the Specto_Design page has been deleted so I created a new user account this morning to comment on the issue.
I have read the guidelines regarding "notability guidelines for companies and organizations" and I have to admit I'm not 100% understanding what needs to be changed to conform. Are there any tips you can share to make this a better page? Thanks. Spectodesign2 (talk) 21:17, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- I understand and sympathize with your confusion. Wikipedia does its best to maintain consistent standards; however, it operates by consensus decision-making, meaning that decisions to retain or delete articles are made on a case-by-case basis. The one piece of concrete advice I can offer is this: reliable sources are very important. The more coverage cited in the article, the better its chances of remaining. Bear in mind that "reliable sources" do not include press mentions or web sites that are obviously promotional. Objective coverage, indicating the company's significance to its industry or the general public, is key. Best wishes, Xoloz (talk) 17:34, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
