Welcome![edit]

Hello, Shravan91, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Platform9[edit]

Hi Shravan91. As you may have noticed, the Platform9 article has been nominated for deletion due to the fact that it probably doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability standards. For that reason, I would recommend that you find another article to work on.

In addition, please remember that you are supposed to be writing an encylcopedia article, not a promotional article. For example, you wrote

Platform9 enables enterprises to use their existing infrastructure and turn it into a fully managed private cloud

This is promotional, this isn't simple informational writing. They aren't "enabling", they're providing technology that companies can run on their own equipment ("existing infrastructure" is jargon, it isn't normal English) to do what...store their own files on their servers? A "fully managed private cloud" is promotional jargon - doesn't it just mean saving your backups on the company's own machines?

Remember that Wikipedia articles aren't there to make companies look good (or bad). They're just supposed to use reliable secondary sources - that are independent on the subject of the article - to provide unbiased coverage of the topic. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:49, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
