Welcome!

Hello, Blackwiredesigns, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion of Control4

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Control4, 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 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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

  Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Control4, you will be blocked from editing. Mr. Vernon (talk) 03:26, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

On Control4...

edit

Thanks for asking what you can do different. If an article looks like the primary purpose is to promote a company or its products, as opposed to simply describing a company and why it's notable, it is liable to be deleted from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place for promotion of things, but a description of things that are already notable. If you'd like, feel free to create the page again at User:Blackwiredesigns/Control4, and drop me a note on my talk page when you're ready for specific feedback.
