[edit] Speedy deletion of Adooga

A tag has been placed on Adooga 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I've noted the (hangon) tag that you added to the article at Adooga and also the note on the associated talk page, which I reproduce here for your convenience:

I am the co-founder of Adooga which is a legitimate web-based company. See http://www.adooga.com - there is no untruthful information or copyrighted material within the text/copy of this page

No one doubts for a moment that the page is truthful and I believe you when you say that the information is not copyrighted. What it needs to be is notable according to the Wikipedia definition of that word. To demonstrate notability, what's required is quotations from independent, third-party, arm's-length experts that say that the company is somehow special or unusual when compared to other companies that do the same thing, and those quotations must be verifiable. The page will be deleted soon, because you haven't asserted any relevant argument to go along with the hangon tag, unless you immediately begin to provide those quotations. If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy, you can leave a note on my talk page. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

As well, your user page has been cleared as it consisted entirely of advertising copy. This contravenes the guidelines for user pages; please feel free to recreate the page with material that describes you as an individual, but do not restore the promotional text. Thanks, and please ask if you have any questions about this. --Ckatz^chat_spy 03:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
