  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Open City Institute]]. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Synchronism (talk) 09:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Reply


Speedy deletion of Open City Initiative edit

 

A tag has been placed on Open City Initiative, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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.

Open City etc edit

Hi, Pablo, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. All sorts of problems here

  • infomosis remains a neologism/jargon unless you can show that it has widespread currency outside your organisation through providing independent verifiable sources
  • Open City initiative and similar are not neutral encyclopaedic articles - they are written as polemical and promotional material, and lack independent verifiable sources to support the claims, (they also also look as if they are copied from a website - if that is the case and the website claims copyright, it's also a copyright violation[1])
  • If the organisations are notable, you need to rewrite from scratch as an fully referenced encyclopaedia article, not as a platform to promote the organisation and its views or policies.

Good luck jimfbleak (talk) 11:02, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Note edit

  1. ^ this applies even if it's your own website unless you follow the correct release procedures
Perhaps one way forward with infomosis would be to add the information to, say Knowledge Management and make Infomosis a redirect to that (#redirect [[Knowledge Management]])? jimfbleak (talk) 14:57, 14 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
