Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Wikipedia. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Swissqual, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Jminthorne (talk) 11:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of POLQA

I have nominated POLQA, 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/POLQA. 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.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Pgallert (talk) 11:35, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Good news

Hello Deepdive2007,

Instead of being deleted, the article POLQA has been moved into the article incubator. The incubator is a collaborative environment aimed at helping new articles be brought up to Wikipedia's standards in an environment that is free from the pressures of impending deletion. To continue working on your article, please visit Wikipedia:Article Incubator/POLQA.

If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask and I will be glad to help. –MuZemike 00:53, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

A quick few tips on things that might help:

1. The article needs to focus a bit more on POLQA as it stands now. What it is now is a set of research and proposals of a technical nature, under research by ITU-T, and presented to various third parties.
2. Information/evidence of how those third parties have received it or any work they are doing on it as a result would be very important. (This should be cited to the relevant third party publications, statements, reports, etc.)
3. Statements of a future nature such as "may become" need special handling. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball so all one can say is what is reported, not one may personally believe.
4. The cites are very insufficient. All we have at present is citations from the researching body itself, and a list of "partners". A more suitable article would draw primarily on recognized papers and on what reliable third parties say (and not for example merely press releases or ITU-T placed material). This google search and this one may help.
5. The sentence "The P.OLQA activities started in ITU-T in early 2006" needs a rewrite and expansion. Presumably they started researching some problem, desired goal, or task, out of which various criteria or possibilities or approaches arose, leading to a public proposal and several possible models being submitted (the article states "candidate models" were selected) from which one or several developed. At some point the title "P.OLQA" was applied, either a generic initial title or one chosen at some point. There may have been a working title before it, or predecessor projects or proposals (What was it building upon? Where did the idea/need come from?). None of this is in the article. It's this kind of stuff that is current not future, (presumably) verifiable, and shows "notice being taken by the world".

I've reorganized the sections slightly to help. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 01:07, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of POLQA

A tag has been placed on POLQA, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Nomination of Swissqual for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Swissqual is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swissqual until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
