AVADirect

edit

A tag has been placed on AVADirect, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how AVADirect is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template hangon (with double brackets), and also put a note on Talk:AVADirect saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions.JonHarder 22:34, 30 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Bundar, and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, AVADirect, has been tagged for speedy deletion because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service. This article may have been deleted by the time you see this message. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service. Thank you.

Notability of AVADirect

edit

A tag has been placed on AVADirect, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hawaiian717 19:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Talk page blanking

edit
 

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Bundar, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Hawaiian717 19:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

It has just been pointed out to me that it is permitted to blank your own talk page; messages are still kept in the page's history if anyone needs to see them. Hawaiian717 15:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

AVADirect undeletion

edit

I recommend taking this to Deletion review if you wish to have the article undeleted. As this article is still borderline (even with the additional references listed below), I think it would be best to have more eyes looking at this in order to make the decision.

  • You have a couple of problems here. The first is that you have absolutely no involvement in Wikipedia other than in relation to AVADirect. It's pretty clear that you are involved with the company (you may have admitted this in the past, I don't know). It seems you are in violation of our conflict of interest guidelines, and you've previously violated our spam guideline too. That's the first problem. The second is: you have yet to provide a single credible independent source about the company. A review of a product is rarely going to work here - reviews are usually solicited by the manufacturer. There's no evidence here that these reviewers said "hey, we've heard about this great new company, let's try it" - most of the recommendations I've seen on web forums are from a user called bundar, actually. So: these reviews fail the non-trivial test, and also arguably the independence test as they are probably solicited, even if the results are independent. All the evidence points to a very small boutique manufacturer looking to boost their profile by getting on Wikipedia. It's a form of guerilla marketing. It's not what we're here for. We are here to document that which is already considered significant by the wider world, not that which some people wish were more significant and are actively trying to make so.
