[edit] Project Zero by IBM

A tag has been placed on Project Zero by IBM, requesting that it be 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, service or person and 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.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Cool Bluetalk to me 01:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IBM Project Zero

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article IBM Project Zero, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}.

I recommend that you read WP:SPAM#How not to be a spammer, and then add the {{db-author}} template to the article. I bet I know what you're thinking. "Now that my article has been identified as spam, how can I atone for my wiki-sins and help improve this wonderful community encyclopedia?" Right? Well, one way would be to start going through the 80+ articles in category:web application frameworks and weeding out some of your competition's similar spam articles (or you could call them "not well sourced", "not notable", "unencyclopedic", etc). Thats something your employer might even let you do on the clock, amirite? 76.103.204.210 00:43, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

You could also find some reliable 3rd party sources for the IBM WebSphere Application Server article which I just tagged with {{Primarysources}}. I think that is obviously a notable subject, but the article at present is mostly a big list of changelogs and some marketingspeak. What do you think about sizing the whole thing down to a paragraph or two? I think it is a good idea. But before you do any of this, you should really mention on your userpage what your role at IBM is! 76.103.204.210 01:12, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
