User talk:Andormarketing

A tag has been placed on Andor Technology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. The Kinslayer 09:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

I've seen your question at User talk:Kungfuadam about notability. WP:ORG is the notability guideline applicable to this case. Check it and let me know if you don't understand something. Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 13:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't my link enough? Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 10:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I am still discovering Wikipedia's protocol.

Having looked at the definition of WP:ORG I would still like to appeal your decision on the following grounds:

Andor Technology plc is a publicly listed company (PLC) listing on the London Stock Exchange in December 2004 (AIM). If you do a Google search on "Andor Technology" there are 63,300 hits, the majority of which are not Andor owned. We have several newspaper articles and TV/radio reports on Andor concerning our achievements as one of UK/Ireland's leading technology innovation companies. PLease refer to Invest NI (local Government body) if you need testimony to this.

In 2005 Andor won Company of the Year in Northern Ireland (run by The Belfast Telegraph). We are also recipient of many awards and accreditations such as Queens Award for Export 2005, ISO 14001: 2004, ISO 9001: 2000, Investors in People 2003 and several awards in Marketing, Innovation and Health and Safety.

In addition to this there are many scientific papers published which credit Andor for supplying cameras used in their research.

I understand Wikipedia's stance on blantant commercialism and advertising, but I do feel very strongly that Andor Technology deserves a place in Wikipedia as an innovative company and a leading light in the current Northern Ireland economy.

All right, in my opinion, you can try to recreate the article, but provide sources for this notability claim ;-). BTW, take also a look at WP:COI. Have a nice day and Happy Editing by Snowolf^(talk)_CON^COI on 19:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Before you recreate the article, post your sources here (links please, to published articles in reputation papers or journals), and maybe one of us will write it instead, in which case you won't have the coi problem. Dicklyon 20:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Heads Up. I do agree on the COI and I am quite happy to rewrite the submission or for someone else to write it, any volunteers?

Anyway here are links to some of this information. NOne of these are "paid for" in terms of advertising or advertorial. I have broken these links into two sections: Corporate overview and academic references to use of Andor cameras. Again I would welcome comment on the suitability of these links.

Corporate overview Andor Technology referred to as a Flagship of the Northern Ireland economy. My simple view is that unless one or two more flagships like Andor Technology are established, we will not break through. We can work on the economy in general terms, but it is the champions that make the difference.

External links

It is generally considered a conflict of interest (WP:COI) to add external links to your own sites; see WP:EL. Instead, you can inform other editors on the article talk pages and let them decide if the pages should be linked. I'm going to revert all your external links to Andor sites.

The problem is that there appears to be little distinction between you and a corporate puppet, most exemplified by your own username. Someguy1221 09:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
