Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Fios, Inc.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I fail to see why I'm being targetted as someone who is 'advertising' for companies I have knowledge on. I see no 'advertisial' language being used. In fact, I made sure to proofread several times so that it would come across as not having any sort of bias in the language being used. I think I accomplished a fair, neutral entry for a company that is a major player in the Electronic Evidence industry.

In regards to Robin Johnson's comment, if that individual spent more than ten seconds doing a little research and looking at Fios' main site, they would see that those individuals are indeed employed there. I'm sorry that the people mentioned have other entries for their names - I was unsure on how to specificy that they weren't the people in those entries but felt the need to at least address the "higher ups" working for the company.

I would appreciate it if someone were to address why this entry is being targetted as being an 'advertisement.' I would happily eliminate any sort of 'advertising talk' if there were any to speak of. Am I being unfairly treated here just because I made several entries for companies I have knowledge about?

I'm afraid the answer is very simple. Since it fails WP:CORP it can only be an advertisement, pretty much by definition. If you can cite external sources as described in WP:CORP then it ceases to fail it. If not then it tends also to be classified as Original Research which also gets deleted.

I think the comment about Robin Johnson falls short on civility. I think everyone understands that you are a new editor and this has all happened in rather a rush, but please be more temperate in comments.
