Hey there. Well as it stands no one has placed it up for deletion but people generally want references to back up what you are saying. I mean how do you know all that information? You must have gotten it from somewhere? Or perhaps from multiple places. If so, place all of the references and sources at the bottom. Furthermore, if you want more info the links above are very good for getting you into Wikipedia. Also you might be interested in checking out: WP:COMPUTING and maybe someone can help you there to improve the article. Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 14:26, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits on Virtual tape library[edit]

Hi. I backed out your recent changes to that article since they seemed to be unsupported promotion of StarWind Software. Wikipedia is not a forum for advertising or promoting a product. I also removed the unsupported claim about FalconStor's market share, but left the sourced claim about it being the basis for half of the products in the sector. If you'd like to improve this article, and I agree that it needs a lot of help, the improvements need to be neutral and well sourced from reliable third-party sources.

The same problem applies to Comparison of iSCSI targets and I will be nominating that article for deletion. A company's product comparison guide is not a reliable source, nor is that private IT SE website. Beyond that, though, the content seems to only be advertising the features of StarWind Software vs a small selection of other products. That makes it spam and not suitable for an article in Wikipedia. Regards, Celestra (talk) 15:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Comparison of iSCSI targets[edit]

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Comparison of iSCSI targets, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Comparison of iSCSI targets 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Celestra (talk) 15:59, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
