Speedy deletion nomination of Swansea cork ferries
edit
A tag has been placed on Swansea cork ferries requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
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), 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.

Please note that at the Articles for Deletion discussion of this article (here) it was decided that this article should be redirected to a page about the ferry route and that relevant information about the company should be included there. This should only be undone if new and signifcant information comes to light. In this case I can see nothing significantly different in the article you recreated and the decision at AfD should stand. Wikipedia works on consensus and as such continuing to restore this article could be seen as vandalism by some. Dpmuk (talk) 19:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Redirecting my page Swansea Cork Ferries to another name Swansea Cork Ferry which are registered trademarks and business names of mine would appear to me to be a breach of company law/trademark law and copyright law. Please stop redirecting. I am happy to let the "Swansea Cork Ferry" page continue but this page should not be interfered with. We are still solvent and have other business.
- Firstly I feel you need to be aware of WP:COI, WP:OWN and WP:LEGAL (not saying you'vr done anythng wrong with respect to the second but from the language you use above you probably need to be aware of it). Secondly Wikipedia works on WP:CONSENSUS and there was a consensus to redirect and a single editor should not unilateraly go against consensus. Continuing to do so will get you blocked for disruptive editing.
- As to your specific point it does not appear to me to breach any law, however I will start a thread on ANI to get someone with more experience of these issues to have a look. In the mean time you should leave things as they are. Dpmuk (talk) 11:05, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
