Hello, Consumer101, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Maxtech Consumer Products, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Maxtech Consumer Products

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Maxtech Consumer Products, 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 unambiguous 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 and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Zachlipton (talk) 19:54, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

How do I know if this page has already been deleted? And I spent a lot of time looking at similar companies on Wikipedia before starting to write this, and followed the same style as Black and Decker and other companies by including history and links to back it up.

A tag has been placed on Maxtech Consumer Products requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Good Morning,

This page is on my user subpage, how can I request help from editors to change it so that it isn't deleted again?

Thanks

Hi there. Thanks for creating a userspace draft. I've gone ahead and moved the article into our Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation space, which is designed for exactly this purpose. You can find your submission at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Maxtech Consumer Products. Someone from our team of reviewers will be along shortly to review your article and will leave you one or more comments as to how it can be improved. From there, you are welcome to make changes and follow the instructions to resubmit it. Once it is ready, a reviewer will accept your submission and move the article into the main project namespace. In the meantime, I recommend reviewing the tips in Wikipedia:Your first article. In particular, adding URLs to your references where possible would be very useful. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Zachlipton (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of Interest?

edit

Do you have a connection to Maxtech Consumer Products? All of your editing so far seems to have been done with the aim of promoting this company and its executives. I see that you previously stated that you are not affiliated with them, but please keep in mind that "supporting local businesses, including farmers and artists" is one of the things that Wikipedia is not for. By all means, create articles on truly notable corporations (see WP:CORP for the guidelines on this), but please don't go off creating articles on corporations and their executives just because you want to support them. Thanks. Zachlipton (talk) 21:26, 11 February 2011 (UTC)Reply


Nope, they were just my first research idea. I've added more content and references to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Kuntz and am working on some other ideas.

Splendid. Sorry if I seemed to be badgering you a bit and thanks for your quality contributions. Happy editing! Zachlipton (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)Reply


No worries, I'm just trying to get the hang of this, it's a lot more restrictive than I thought it would be, but I know it's just to make sure the content is correct and of good quality.

Replaceable fair use File:Tn great canadian1605 3.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Tn great canadian1605 3.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:50, 23 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
