Proposed deletion of Karatics

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Karatics, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Sorry that I nominated your first article for deletion, but as I explained there, I don't think it passes our inclusion guideline outlined at WP:NOTABILITY.
I'm guessing by your username that you are Rob Fletcher? If so then WP:FAQ/Business might be of interest to you.

OK still, that FAQ page I linked above is useful to you, since you have a conflict of interest at an article about a concept you inventend and wrote a book about. I opened a deletion discussion about it since the notability issues I mentioned at the articles talk page have not been adressed. AmaltheaTalk 10:35, 28 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Karatics

edit
 

I have nominated Karatics, an article 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/Karatics. 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.
