Speedy deletion nomination of Arcanys edit
Hello Teoledino,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Arcanys for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

There was an explanation WP:G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. I deleted your article because
- it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation company, press releases, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company organisation claims or interviewing its management. You gave some two references, but they were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting, and in any case they are not acceptable. One is written by the company We help our clients and the other is a interview with your boss.
- There is not much evidence that the company is notable. No independent third-party references, no turnover or profits info, and the claim for number of employees has no source.
- it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: As the company grew... known for the near-native English proficiency... Support team is rated 5 stars... for busy entrepreneurs that need to free up some time. It's basically a press release for the company with little attempt at encyclopaedic content.
- I notice that this is your first edit, writing a full article about a particular company. If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for the organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very 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 paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:Teoledino. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Teoledino|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read this important guidance. You must also reply to the COI request above
- Thank you for your message. Now you gave an explanation but at first there wasn't any. "Unambiguous advertising or promotion" is a statement not an explanation. I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I do note though that you refer to the interview as "a interview with your boss": aside from being an undocumented assumption, it is exactly what you ask me not to do. Yes, I know the company (I suppose we must know the subject we are writing on), no I'm not compensated to write anything about it.
