Deletion of Wingify Wikipedia page

Wingify (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hi there, Hope you are doing well. I wanted to know you deleted Wingify's page for the reason: Advertising of a company. Non-notable startup. What credible proof do you need for reverting the change? I can cite a lot of sources (unpaid).

Disclosure: I work for Wingify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anubhav2205 (talk • contribs) 08:49, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Anubhav2205, the deletion I did was via the PROD process. All that needs to happen to have an article deleted via PROD restored is for someone to ask for it to be restored. Since you work for the company please read WP:COI and pay particular attention to WP:PAID. ~ GB fan 10:12, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. How do I ask and Where do I ask? I have already disclosed that I work for the company, is there proof required? There is no false data being represented. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anubhav2205 (talk • contribs) 06:12, 8 August 2018 (UTC) (Copy-pasted Anubhav2205's post from Talk:Wingify (permalink) prior to G8 tagging, Sam Sailor 06:58, 8 August 2018 (UTC))

I have restored the article. ~ GB fan 10:33, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

One misuse of the talk page is not enough to remove access. I have warned them about the proper use of the talk page. ~ GB fan 10:41, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

I didn't nominate your userpage for deletion or actually delete it. All I did was decline your request to delete your talk page. Just because something is correct and doesn't have any copyrighted content does not mean it belongs on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not the place to publish your work there are plenty of free webhosts where you can publish your work. ~ GB fan 10:16, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Re: edit to User talk:47.62.16.28

Oh. I thought English Wikipedia worked just like other Wikis in Wikimedia when it came to discussion pages. Just out of curiosity, is there a page that mentions it? Thank you for your kindness. Greetings. --Wiki-1776 (talk) 17:38, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I found a draft that was 48 percent copyrighted (according to Earwig's detector). I cleaned up the copyright (per WP:SOFIXIT) and got it down to below 20 percent). I need you to rev delete all of the revisions which had the copyrighted material. The draft is Draft:Indian_association_of_Dermatologists,_Venereologists_and_Leprologists_(IADVL)#State_branches_of_IADVL . Thank you

Hi, I was about to create an article on the above person, when I was notified that a page had previously existed and had been deleted by you at 22:13, 5 August 2013 under WP:A7. Her case is no longer that of a missing person and has been upgraded to a murder investigation. The Garda announcement mentions an unnamed suspect as well as results of a review of the case and unspecified new information. Would a new article on her fall under WP:A7 or would it now have WP:SIGNIFICANCE? Autarch (talk) 20:04, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

I can not answer that without seeing the article that is created. Since it was speedy delete, there are no obstructions to recreation. ~ GB fan 13:14, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

OK - thanks for you reply. I'll create a new article and see how things go. Autarch (talk) 16:30, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

deletion of IMPERIAL-Newton Corp

Hi, I work for IMPERIAL-Newton and a customer informed us the other day that he noticed our page had been deleted. I was surprised to confirm this, and read the reasons stated for the deletion. I was wondering why you removed the page about us, and how we get it restored? Since our founding, we have transformed the custom/specialty segment of the hand tool industry in a way no other company has done; which is likely why someone created a page about us. We solve unique need within our industry, and while we might not be known to your average consumer, we are very well known within our industry and the world's largest and prominent organizations like NASA, the NAVY, Halliburton who have special needs others cannot meet. Other companies in our industry have pages on this site, but are arguably less notable in that they produce commodity items same to a dozen other brands and are unremarkable in this regard, while we fill a unique niche producing highly special variations and have transformed a subset of an industry that is over 2000 years old. Many find our role as being highly notable, including the largest tool brands in the world who come to us when they need special lengths and sizes, and we ask that your please restore the page about us. if you need evidence of validity or other substantive justification for why our page is justified, and not an advert, please ask. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueDog111 (talk • contribs) 05:21, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

I restored the article that you created not someone else. I have also listed it at AFD where a discussion will be held to determine if an article belongs about this company. ~ GB fan 13:11, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring the page, and please retract the listing for deletion. No employee created the page, but i know that years back people began to mention us and noted our unique role in our industry in other wiki pages, which was very basic, and my understanding was that since we now had a page and were mentioned, it should be a proper page with accurate info. So we reached out to the user to please improve it and complete it to be more proper in appearance such as adding facts. As a courtesy we were given the login to make updates in the future, which is why I am using it still now. If that was improper I apologize, but the intent was to improve quality on existing content, and it does not diminish our notability, or worthiness to distinguish our unique role from the many others in our industry on Wikipedia who simply make the same products as all the others. I would be happy to provide supporting facts or information if needed to substantiate why what we do is notable, and why others felt it worthy to mention us in the scope of tool making history. We are notable in that we make the world's largest sockets and wrenches, including the development of a new square drive to handle loads above 150,000 ft-lbs which did not exist prior. We also have the widest size range of any tool maker in the world, surpassing over 480,000 sockets and wrenches (which is unique in itself), including sizes and shapes that no other manufacturer offers. We have manufactured special tools in support of NASA missions including the Mars program and international space station, for which the other brands could not supply. If changes need to be made to the page to remove any hint of promotion please let us know, but we are not deserving of deletion. I ask that you please remove us from the AFD deletion process please and let us know what changes need to be made if any to allow us the same listing status as Matco or other routine brands which are not being targeted for deletion. Our page certainly has merit beyond mere sales figures, and we are willing to support that fact however needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueDog111 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

So if I understand correctly you did not create the article but someone else did and they gave you the password to the account. Is that correct? If it is then this account should be blocked as it is now a compromised account. I will not be withdrawing the nomination based on the company saying we are notable. ~ GB fan 20:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

I understand your concern with this account (we make sockets we are not web programmers so it was a courtesy and it not been abused), and will cancel this account and figure out how to create a new account if necessary to rectify this. For what it is worth I agreed with some who commented on the page he made, so I went in and tried to clean it up and provide relevant support the best I know how. To your point about relevancy not being valid if self proclaimed, I fully agree with your logic but I wonder how then it can be substantiated for other companies in our industry who have pages here which they probably made unlike ours. Does being publicly traded or doing a lot of adverts in magazines make you notable? That seems contrary to the purpose of this site, which is not a popularity or familiarity contest. If you sincerely believe we are completely un-noteworthy despite others feeling it worth mentioning us and making a page, then I don't know what this is about, and I guess we will just wait for someone else to make the case for us, or we run more advertisements we can point to? As I offered previous, I will provide what you ask for. There are chat forums which discuss us that I can give you, and product photos substantiating what I said is true. We are a notable manufacturer in a niche market, and others have said so (to your point). Unless CNN or the BBC does an article on us we are unnotable? A california newspaper felt our leaving was notable, which I saw was included in the page they made on us. What does it take? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueDog111 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

I noted that Wingify above still has a page, and they seem even less notable than us. Very confused by why we are being targeted or how we make this right. We are certainly more notable or equal to Wingify and I am fully willing to do what you ask. Please tell me what is needed to resolve this, and just allow us to have the page that was made on our behalf to remain. Like many others.
