Non-notable primary school. Fails WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello Otterman107. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Otterman107. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Otterman107|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Seraphimblade Talk to me 01:52, 8 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello Seraphimblade,
I apologize for how it may have come across; however, I have no relations with this company and have received no compensation whatsoever for writing the article. I simply have too much free time on my hands and enjoy researching and exploring my interests. If there are corrections that could be pointed out to me, however, I would be more than happy to correct them in order for the article to be approved. Sorry for any confusion and thank you again for bringing this to my attention. Otterman107 (talk) 04:18, 8 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
As some examples of the issues (note, examples, not an exhaustive list of them): The article starts off with an external link to the company's website. Article text should not contain external links. If the organization has an official website, a link to that goes at the bottom of the article in an "External links" section, not in the lead sentence. They strive to... We're not looking for marketese about what they "strive to" do, but rather what reliable and independent sources confirm they've actually done. ...with a reputation of a company who set the standards in the industry. More marketese; completely inappropriate. In 2000, Lightspeed's XL series introduced Auto Shutoff™. One sure sign of spam is the use of trademark symbols; articles should never use those. Most of the article was unreferenced sales brochure style material, and that stuff didn't even have any references. Articles must be neutral in both tone and content, not promote anyone or anything, including by "talking up", and stick to facts confirmed by reliable and independent sources without any editorializing. Also, the sources that were there do not demonstrate that the subject is notable, since most are written by the company itself or organizations it works closely with. We're interested in what sources independent of the company say about it, not what it says about itself or what its partners say about it. If a substantial quantity of reliable and independent source material about the company does not exist, it is not appropriate for there to be an article about it at all.

However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
