Speedy deletion nomination of Zanotis Report Designer
[edit]Hello Zanotis,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Zanotis Report Designer for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ~Helicopter Llama~ 22:20, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
Yo diggity!
I got your message on my talk page, and yeah, I totally understand your concern. However, I marked the page for deletion mainly because at the time of its creation your article had no content rather than a rephrasing of the title. Generally, it's a good idea to actually write a draft of your article first in your user sandbox or some similar place before actually publishing it. The publishers of print encyclopedias don't have blank entries in their volumes in order to add information in later versions, so why should Wikipedia?
Another thing, which is really super duper important: your username appears to be a blatant violation of our site's policy documented at WP:ORGNAME. Since I'm not an administrator and your article was deleted, I don't think that you're going to be blocked at this time, but if you try to recreate the article for listing at List of reporting software as you mentioned on my talk page, you probably won't be so lucky, so consider choosing a different username. Also, though, keep in mind that even if you do, you may still be held to WP:COI, another policy towards those representing/connected to a company or organisation or whateverer.
I know that you're acting in good faith, but at the moment things look pretty bleak for your cause. However, though, much like celery, there is always a bright side to things. At this point, I would definitely suggest proposing your article for creation under a non-violating username to WP:RA, if you believe that this company is sufficiently important to warrant a Wikipedia article. Honestly, the worst thing they could do is say no. Hope this all helps, cheers ~Helicopter Llama~ 00:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
