Speedy deletion nomination of Malus Records

A tag has been placed on Malus Records requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:17, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you used the {{helpme}} tag but you did not post a question. Please write out your question and when you are done, place back the tag. I or someone else will be along to help. Alternatively, you can join the #wikipedia-en-help IRC help channel to get real-time assistance. (Click here for instant access).

If this is regarding the CSD above, then please read that notice carefully. Don't panic, because anything deleted can be recovered - a copy can be put into your user area so that you can work to improve it. Please read WP:ORG, WP:GNG, WP:RS and WP:V for more info. Also - perhaps best - come and talk to us with this. Cheers, Chzz ► 01:26, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, so, I've looked at this a bit more;

First, most important, you need to change your user name - because it might be considered a form of promotion. It's explained in WP:SPAMNAME; you can easily change it, just go to Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the instructions.

Next, regarding the article. It's pretty clear that you have a 'conflict of interest' - and we need to be careful about that. For this reason I recommend;

Work on some other articles, and get more familiar with Wikipedia.

Work on the article in your userspace, by all means.

Do not recreate the article. Please read WP:COI, WP:BESTCOI and WP:BFAQ. Sorry for giving you lots of reading, but COI is tricky.

Per those, if you can get an article into shape, you can put it into Wikipedia:Articles for creation.

I will ask for a copy of the deleted article to be put into your user space. Cheers, Chzz ► 01:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

here is my question... Hello i am trying to get my article submitted into the Wikipedia. Yes it is about my company but as my duties as CEO i have to insure that my company gets the recognition which it deserves in order for it to grow and or public record for legal disputes. I understand my company has not reached the blue sky as of yet. I do believe with the current launch (in july) of our new Networking Website we shall soon be there. I made a mistake by perviously submitting a article on accident which was delete. I would like to get some help completing my article for the wikipedia. Although this is a company article it should be submitted as i have noticed other similar companies such as Epitaph and Shady Records. Here is the url to the article i have written so far...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Malusrecords/Summit_article

yet, though it may seem like there is a conflict of interest i don't see it... if this was the case other article such as the ones i mentioned in my question would not exist some has to write them? i'm sure who ever first created those article had a conflict of interest of some degree.

I understand. I will try to help. The other article argument doesn't work, see WP:OTHERSTUFF. Please read my earlier message; I really do think that that covers this pretty well. There *is* a conflict of interest. "my duties as CEO". This doesn't have to be a problem; read the earlier notes from me, play by the rules, and we'll help you lots. If your only intention on Wikipedia is to promote this org, then you will not get far, and will have a frustrating time. If you want to contribute to this wonderful project, then I am quite prepared to spend as many hours as necessary helping you in any way I can - and there are many other volunteers that feel the same way.

Unfortunately, being the CEO of a company that you are writing about is about as blatant an example of conflict of interest that there can be, as far as Wikipedia is concerned. You are not allowed to promote anything at all on Wikipedia, and there really isn't a way you can get around that. The fact that others have tried to do so and temporarily succeeded just means we haven't gotten around to deleting those articles yet. However, the examples you cited do not apply because 1) they were written almost entirely by writers with no connection to the label, 2) they are owned in whole or part by someone who is notable, and 3) the subject company is notable in its own right because it has released recordings which have charted or gone gold. Your company has not done any of that yet, though I wish you luck in doing so. If and when that happens, someone else will undoubtedly write a Wikipedia article about it. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help request

my question is? on my the article i am writting there is a note saying something about it could be deleted? My understanding is that i could write a article and keep refining it until it may be able to be summitted to the Wikipedia. I was just wondering because i also thought it was going to be safe to write and build the article as the company developes. thanks so much for your help

The article that was in the live area, Malus Records, has now been deleted - that is why it's a redlink, and that's what the warning was about.

However, the copy in your user area - in User:JC Branch/Summit article - is fine, and yes, you can take as long as you like to work on it there.

I hope that this clarifies things. For more information, see WP:SUBPAGE. Cheers, Chzz ► 08:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there. There is no "hard number" for inclusion. What Wikipedia looks for is notability. This is defined in many ways, but the most important guideline to reference is the general notability guideline and notability for web content. In a nutshell, these guidelines state that if the site has received significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, then it is fit for inclusion. Look for content from news sites that may have referenced the site. Hope that helps. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 09:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

{{help me}} Hello, I am making updates and adding content to the page for Malus Records, Inc. I would like to get it up to par so we could have it published. The company has made several advances in progress. We are going to be including our artist and i would like to talk about artist both on Malus Records and Malus Records Distribution (Malus Digital) our company's new developing service. I am thinking of developing a legal section where we could provide our view point in a current USPTO cancelation matter. Do you think we could get some help with our publication?
