Hello, ThinDesk, and welcome to Wikipedia!

To get started, click on the link that says "welcome".
I (and the rest of us here, too) hope you like it here and decide to stay!
Happy editing! CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:48, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article ThinDesk - Virtual Desktop Infrastructure has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

I do not wish to advertise my company. Just to be educational on the topic of desktop virtualization. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThinDesk (talkcontribs) 12:12, March 15, 2010

Nevertheless, you are using your company name as a user name (which is against policy; see above) and your only edit thusfar was about your own product (see Wikipedia:Special-purpose accounts). CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:29, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:ThinDesk is an advertisement

The article User:ThinDesk has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. See WP:USERPAGE for what constitutes acceptable user page content. CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Thindesk 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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.

Do you remember what we discussed? You need reliable sources to establish notability.  fetchcomms 14:47, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated ThinDesk, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ThinDesk. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.  fetchcomms 17:02, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you are receiving regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you create an inappropriate page, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  Chzz  ►  09:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged the recreated ThinDesk article for deletion. There is no assertion of notability and none of the "references" you listed that might be considered "reliable" even mention your company. Please do not continue to recreate the page; if you do so, measures will be taken to prevent the page from being recreated. If you'd like to create an article, with an assertion of notability backed up by reliable sources, do so at User:Tharaldsen/ThinDesk. Once you believe it to be ready for inclusion, you should ask an administrator to move it into the main namespace on your behalf. jæs (talk) 23:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ThinDesk

[edit]

Hi Jaes,

I created the ThinDesk page... I am an expert in Desktop Virtualization but never posted on Wikipedia.. ThinDesk was listed as a Gartner Cool Vendor and I updated on hte reference page. Many other references ... reference Thindesk as a reptuable company. I am not trying to promote the company.. just make people aware of the trend in IT of Desktop Virtualization and included on the list of Vendors on the Desktop Virtualization page

Please let me know what I am doing wrong?

Tyler, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, but please review my message above again. It looks like ThinDesk has not yet reach the necessary threshold for reliable source coverage, as most of the links you have listed on the article do not actually seem to mention the company directly. Until notability can be established, most likely any external links from the desktop virtualization article will be removed. Take a look at WP:NOTE, and while it does not directly apply, WP:WEB actually does have some general principles that translate to software (and WP:CORP outlines the notability standards for companies). I hope this helps. jæs (talk) 23:19, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
