Speedy deletion nomination of Audionic

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Audionic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Scopecreep (talk) 11:47, 2 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Reply to your "help": your article included: "eminent company... premium brand products... the name of quality and reliability... a renowned brand... famous for providing high quality products... Audionic products are the best... different, innovative, creative... ". That was not an encyclopedia article, that was an advertisement, full of unsupported praise and "puffery". Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind, and anything like that is deleted at sight. For more information, see WP:FAQ/Organizations, WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and WP:Conflict of interest. JohnCD (talk) 13:23, 2 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Advice

edit
  • Wikipedia is a project to build an encyclopedia. Although anyone can edit, that does not mean anyone can post whatever they like: Wikipedia is quite different from sites like Myspace and Facebook which people go to to write about themselves and their companies.
  • Wikipedia is not for any kind of advertising or promotion, and is very resistant to attempts to use it that way. Articles are required to have a WP:Neutral point of view, and articles that try to promote or sell something are speedily deleted.
  • Wikipedia does not expect to have articles about every company, any more than about every person. The criterion used is called Wikipedia:Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:42 and WP:Notability (organizations and companies).
  • If you are connected with the company you are writing about, you have from Wikipedia's point of view a WP:Conflict of interest, and should read that and WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

What you should do now is:

  • Think hard about notability. Many perfectly worthy companies, particularly small or new ones, are not notable in Wikipedia's sense; that is not at all to their discredit, but it means they are not suitable subjects for an encyclopedia. If the company is not notable, you will be wasting your time trying to make it appear so.
  • If you want to go ahead, read WP:Your first article.
  • Then go to Help:Userspace draft and fill in the name of your article - that will create a draft page where you can work on it, with a link to submit it, when it is ready, to WP:Articles for creation, where either it will be accepted or you will be given feedback.
  • When writing your article, take great care not to be promotional. It should be quite unlike what you wrote before. Read WP:PEACOCK. The Wikipedia:Verifiability policy requires that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source", and that includes any claims to be unique, the best, etc. Imagine that a hostile critic is looking at what you write saying "Who says? Can you prove that?" You should not think of yourself as writing for the company: you are writing for Wikipedia, about the company. An encyclopedia article should not contain opinions, only plain facts, neutrally stated and referenced to reliable sources.
