Imagetec
I noticed that you removed "IMAGETEC" from wikipedia and I am really struggling to understand why. We simply wanted an article like any other notable company. Nevertheless our article is gone and if you are going to remove us can you also look at/ remove Impact Networking. It is a rival company to us and their article is the exact same format and their same company information. We are just trying to get our information out there, but even after changing the article to be simply facts it still is getting deleted.
Please give me something so I know you at least got this message. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iubobby (talk • contribs) 13:26, 8 July 2008
- Have you seen your talk page? It tells you that the notability of the organization is in question. I made a note to the last editor who worked on those pages as to why writing information on your own company is a bad idea and also noted that they were written in a style that suggested advertising instead of an encyclopedia. While in the Brittanica, you may discover entities such as IBM or the East India Company, that's because they're history-making endeavors and not Jilly's Lemonade Stand (which you'll notice does not exist). Companies falling between these two extremes must prove that they're notable: See WP:CORP (Corporate notability guidelines). There was also concern that the article was not sufficiently neutral in point of view, but having already been deleted by that time, the claim had no rational need for inspection.
- Also, in the future, you may wish to both sign your notes to people using four tildes (~~~~) and add a section header. I nearly ignored your note as part of the boilerplate text on my talkpage before I realized I didn't have any boilerplate text on my talkpage. Make sure you read the corporate notability guidelines I linked to above, hey? I hope that's of some help to you. Kylu (talk) 17:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC
Response
Thanks for the response. The company is notable due to the fact that they have been recognized by Toshiba and various newspapers from the chicago area. I dont know what else to do really in order to get the page restored. Take a look at the article titled Impact Networking, becuase if we are not considered notable (we have been around longer and have a higher anual revenue than Impact) then please delete their page as well and we can both move on. Thanks again for being so helpful. Iubobby (talk) 18:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Deletion review for IMAGETEC
An editor has asked for a deletion review of IMAGETEC. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 12.107.120.242 (talk) 15:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- The link leads to deletion review, but to no discussion. Turns out you wrote the DR request on the talkpage, so I moved it to the correct "side" of the page for you. This rather does make me wonder how many DR requests have gone ignored simply due to improper request placement. If, in the future, you would like to make another such request, it would be preferable to either create an account and perform the function while logged in, or request a logged-in user request your review for you. Users not logged in are unable to create new non-talk pages on Wikipedia. Kylu (talk) 17:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
