Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this).

Re: your question on the Admin Noticeboard edit

Hi there. I'm sorry you're having trouble with your article, but there are a few issues that I believe you're running up against with your attempts to include this information. Firstly, you have to consider notability of the subject, which must be defined through independent coverage in secondary sources - essentially, this means that other people must be discussing the subject before it can be considered notable enough for an article here. Newspaper, magazine or certain online sources can be used to provide these references, but ensure that they meet the guidelines for a reliable source. Also, the article has to avoid being promotional; if it's considered to be advertising, it will be deleted very quickly as a blatant advertisement. The article has to be phrased neutrally to avoid this, and not be an attempt to market the product. Finally, if you're involved with the development of the product in question, you need to be aware of potential conflict of interest - in most cases, the usual approach is that if your product is notable, someone else will write about it eventually.

If you've got any questions, please feel free to touch base with me on my talk page, and I'll do what I can to respond. Cheers. Tony Fox (arf!) 16:32, 21 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
