A tag has been placed on SurveyGizmo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Scientizzle 00:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response

I've moved the deleted content to User:ScottMichaelMcDaniel/SurveyGizmo so you can work on it...

  • Don't make it look like an advert--it reads like a promotional brochure for the site. Cut it down to a couple of clear paragraphs and eliminate saccharine spammy language like "SurveyGizmo Professional is aimed at the department size user who wants all the bells and whistles of the enterprise version but does not have the same capacity requirements" & "More than just a survey tool, SurveyGizmo is a creative platform for any marketing, lead generation or research projects".
  • Read WP:WEB, the notability guideline for web content. Make sure the subject meets the guideline & clearly add the information.
  • Remember that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising, but an encyclopedia.

It's that simple.

When you've created an article that's not an ad and meets the notability guideline, let me know. — Scientizzle 00:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I apologize profusely

The subpage your gizmo is sandboxed in was confused for a separate user, and I blocked you hoping that would fix it. I unblocked immediately afterwards, but I apologize for my actions. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 08:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
