A tag has been placed on Navilyst Medical, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. --Dynaflow babble 17:33, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Have worked on the article in the sandbox - can it be moved into the live space? Connk (talk) 19:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
How to write your first article
Before we get started, there are a couple of considerations you will want to keep in mind. If you are connected with the company you're writing about, you'll want to declare it straight out, say, on your userpage. It makes a lot of editors uneasy/annoyed/livid when they suddenly discover that another editor has an undeclared conflict of interest for the articles they're editing, and you might often find yourself directed to Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. The other consideration is that, if you're writing an article on your company just so that it will have an article on Wikipedia, or worse yet, to advertise it, you'll very likely be running up against the Wikipedia:Spam content guidelines.
On to writing. You're going to want to make sure that your article's subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, which are more or less the basic inclusion criteria for the encyclopedia. In the case of your subject, you're going to want to peruse Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). If you decide that your subject would be considered wiki-notable, then just follow the advice at Wikipedia:Your first article, and you should be on your way to contributing helpful content. --Dynaflow babble 19:52, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have moved your article out of the main article space and into your user space so that you can get the article into shape at your leisure without having to worry about it being summarily deleted before you're done with it. You can find you article at User:Connk/Navilyst Medical. When you feel the article is ready for prime time, you can either move it back into article space yourself using the pagemove function, or you can drop me a line and I can do it for you. If you have any more questions, feel free to leave me a message at my Talk page. Best of luck. --Dynaflow babble 20:07, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
