Speedy deletion nomination of Connecthings

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 Connecthings, 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

RE: Connecthings

Hello RA0808,

Thanks for the warm welcome to Wikipedia.

I am still confused as to why the post for Connecthings was taken down. As I stated in my contention, the post contains unbiased, verifiable facts about a company that is heavily involved in the smart city space. Much like Cisco and IBM, this company is a leader in the field and has been associated with numerous smart city projects across the globe.

I have not seen an answer to my contention, so if you could offer some guidance as to why it is being deleted and what needs to be added or removed to make it acceptable, that would be most appreciated.

Best, B.poole
