Oven rack guard

Hey there, I just realized that Oven rack guard had already been deleted, due to a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oven rack guard, as an advertizing page. You cannot retore essentially the same content without further discussion, but you can appeal the decision at Wikipedia:Deletion Review. Thanks, and drop me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. -- SCZenz 17:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's got to do with a product making national news or not, I think. You might review What Wikipedia is not and WP:SPAM, and if you still disagree with me you can appeal at Wikipedia:Deletion Review. -- SCZenz 22:34, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Roomba is an article that was written by Wikipedians, not by the company that makes the product. You have a patent on the technology used in the Oven rack guard and clearly have a vested interest in creating the article. That's the difference, and the reason why your article is an advertisement and Roomba is not. If you'd like to create a Request for Undeletion, you can, but it will not succeed.

Your article reads like sales pitch, your references are essentially product reviews. The oven rack guard, as proud as you are of it, is non-notable. Are there other oven rack guards on the market? I couldn't find any, you are stuck having to reference your product because no others exist. Using a sock puppet, NoMoreBurns, to attempt to get your article published, as well as your lack of contributions to other articles, isn't helping your case. maxcap 20:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How to get the article deletion reviewed

Ask for at at Wikipedia:Deletion Review -- SCZenz 20:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It didn't occur to me that Deletion Review would be hard to figure out, but I can understand how it would be and I apologize. How about you post on my talk page exactly the appeal that you'd like to have on the deletion review page, and I'll post it for you. I'll put it up without comments of my own, except to say that I deleted the article and posted the deletion review request in your words to assist you. -- SCZenz 05:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
