A tag has been placed on Intera Systems, 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. Hatch68 03:05, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Intera Systems, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Hatch68 03:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Intera Systems, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Please note that removing speedy delete templates is considered vandalism. Hatch68 03:28, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Aquascape, Inc.

Hi Rmaul, thank you for your contributions. Please do not put links to Aquascape, Inc. in the "See also" sections of articles like Aquatic ecosystem and Gardening. These are general interest articles, and having a link to just one of the very many companies that work in these areas is not appropriate. It was also not appropriate in the article Inc. (magazine)‎ because if there is a link to one of the companies it has featured in its magazine, there must a link to them all. Bláthnaid 23:31, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
