Speedy deletion nomination of Zopim[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 Zopim, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. The Banner talk 23:17, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Status and Advice[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I had to delete the article--not that it is necessarily non-notable, but that it is promotional.

A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't give the sort of detailed description that you would on a website; don;t try to list all the dozens of languages it works in, or all the platforms for which it has interfaces. or a detailed list of executives. Be certain not to copy from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM (permission that irrevocably gives everyone in the world the right to copy, reuse, and modify the material) , the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. (Thus, there is generally no purpose in giving permission; it is better to rewrite.)

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective users --that sort of content is considered promotional. Remember that the sources should be references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. Marketeers think of products as a set of benefits, but on Wikipedia, products have to be described by their nature. And keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of press releases or web sites, which are usually more expansive.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity, and for the presence of sources that show notability. The best way of rewriting is to use the WP:Article Wizard, which will guide you towards an acceptable article if one is possible.

For further information see our general guides to writing articles, WP:PLAIN and WP:FIRST; see also our list of the things we don't do here, WP:NOT, and our practical guide to conflict of interest, WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. I don;t want to discourage you, but it would be better to start over. DGG ( talk ) 05:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

you asked me about where to resubmit it after rewriting: Use WP:Articles for creation. DGG ( talk ) 05:27, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Zopim[edit]

A tag has been placed on User:Zopim, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page, or a redirect loop.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Zopim[edit]

Hello Abhiroopb. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Zopim".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 02:01, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted page[edit]

Hey, I went ahead and deleted the page. Other editors raised concerns over the tone and sources on the article and I have to agree with them that the page should be deleted. I also noted that you did not edit it after requesting its recreation in April. At this point it would be better to start an AfC from scratch, although I do want to say that there are concerns that it will never pass our notability guidelines in general.
