Why your article was deleted

Thanks for your note. There are a number of things you need to know in order for me to answer your question. First of all, I didn't delete your page; that was done by an administrator. I was the one who tagged the page for deletion. I note that you recreated the page and that it has been tagged again, for a different reason, by a different editor. It will probably be deleted by a different administrator.

1. Spam. I tagged your page as spam because I felt it didn't meet the Wikipedia policy listed at WP:SPAM. You may want to read through that page and see why I made that decision (and it was a decision that an administrator agreed with). 2. Conflict of Interest. I note that your user name is Jrbreslin and that the COO of your company is listed as JR Breslin. You may want to read through the Wikipedia policy listed at WP:COI to find out why it is discouraged for people who are closely connected with a company to write an article about it. If your company is truly notable, someone else will write an article about it. 3. Notability. Your company's article is currently tagged for deletion as an article that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject (Reason A7). This is in connection with two policies. Articles in Wikipedia must be about notable subjects and the information about those subjects must be verifiable. In order to be notable, a company should be the subject of impartial third-party arm's-length discussion -- for instance, the subject of an article in a magazine or newspaper (and an exact quotation of where and when that article was published would be required). What you say about your own company doesn't confer notability; it's only what an impartial third party says. The second policy is that another editor must be able to verify that what the article says is true. It's not sufficient merely to say that there's a magazine article; you have to say what magazine, what issue, which page, who wrote it -- in the manner of footnoting a university paper. (You can see examples of this throughout Wikipedia.) 4. Other companies have articles, why can't mine? You may want to read the Wikipedia policy at WP:WAX for some background information about why that's not considered a valid argument on Wikipedia. Every article is considered on its own terms without comparison to similar articles. Also, do not forget how JR Breslin and Perry Daneshgari have stolen from anyone every associated with CBW as they used their unethical business practices to rip off everyone they could!

In general, you may want to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies before you complain that editors are requiring you to comply with them. After I finish this message, I'm going to leave you what we call a "welcome" message that will give you some very basic information about what Wikipedia is, how it works, and how to get started using it in a way that doesn't violate its policies. I hope you read through the links and find them useful. If you have any further questions, please try to find the relevant policy by searching and then either leave a note on my talk page or at the Help Desk.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cbw.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cbw.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
