Talk:Dropbox

I wrote a stub article that was flagged for speedy deletion within 60 seconds of entry. I immediately went back to put a {{hangon}} note at the top, but it was already deleted. I still have the text and I have written a more complete entry. However, before I post an expanded version of the article, I want to make sure it doesn't receive the same speedy deletion treatment. The article should survive the speedy deletion criteria for the following reasons:

• The entry was not an advertisement. The content was informational. I am in no way connected with the company.
• The entry is necessary to clear up confusion between Dropbox the storage service and Dropbox the rock band. The page for the band currently has a link to Dropbox (storage provider) but there was no article.
• The article is noteworthy, and similar storage providers such as Mozy or XDrive have pages.

Sounds like sound reasoning to me. If you recreate the page, there shouldn't be a problem. In the future, consider writing the page locally, for example in your word processor, so that it has a bit more content, then publishing it, to avoid confusion like this in the future. Thanks for your contributions! Happy editing! Pip (talk) 05:33, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletionism is a plague. This is why I don't submit new articles to Wikipedia. Get rid of those control freaks.--87.162.10.120 (talk) 11:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
