Speedy deletion of Colorado springs technology incubator edit
A tag has been placed on Colorado springs technology incubator 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. Publicity for good things is a noble pursuit, but its not what we do. we're just an encyclopedia,and our purpose is to provide information about those that are notable. Tell me, what do you expect to find in an encyclopedia? Articles about good things to do, or articles about major accomplishments tat people have already done? But if you have 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases, or material based on press releases), fell free to select another user name, and create a short sourced article in neural language, taking account of our FAQ (on businesses and other organisations)DGG (talk) 06:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
February 2009 edit
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Colorado springs technology incubator. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Tckma (talk) 22:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
