Speedy deletion nomination of Ourinternet

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ourinternet, 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 unambiguous 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 and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Talkback

(I don't know for certain it is from you, but I think it is a reasonable guess.)

Hello, Bdgls. You have new messages at Sphilbrick's talk page.

Feedback on User:Bdgls/Ourinternet

There are several examples of wording that are problematic:

"The company is one of the leading providers" You can't say this without adequate sourcing, and even if you can find adequate sourcing, many editors (including myself) don't think it is appropriate wording. It is what the marketing department says, not an encyclopedia.
"packed with advanced features" In a word, no. Not acceptable.
"Next step forward" See above
"carving out a new niche" See above
"Our Internet cloud servers are a good alternative" Not acceptable with sourcing, and even then, not advisable.
"without investing a fortune" This is advertising not encyclopedia phrasing --SPhilbrick T 12:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback. Will try to fix that leaving only facts and related sourcing.

Bdgls (talk) 13:12, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed all your remarks. Can you please take a look and let me know whether the page looks better now and can be restored?

Bdgls (talk) 14:05, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding so quickly.

My biggest remaining concern is weakness regarding reliable sources. Please read the link but the key sentence is:

Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.

You have included five references, but some are to the subjects site. I'm not familiar with Parallels or Web Hosting Stuff, but neither of them appear to qualify. --SPhilbrick T 15:08, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. What can be actually reliable in this world... Any case, Web Hosting Stuff is considered to be an authority and reliable source with more than 10,000 of reviews on various web hosting providers and services. Parallels is a multi-national corporation with offices in North America, Europe and Asia. They considered to be one of the leaders in server/desktop virtualization technologies (for example CNet review http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10451102-263.html). That's why I considered them to be reliable sources. I'm going to add a few more sources in future while updating the content.

Hey SPhilbrick, just wondering whether you saw my last message. Not sure whether a user talk section has proper notifications. Hope on your feedback.

Bdgls (talk) 06:10, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Got your message, will look now.--SPhilbrick T 11:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, you wondered about "whether a user talk section has proper notifications" Yes and no. Everyone has a WP:WATCHLIST, which does indicate when someone edits a page on the list. Your talk page is on my watchlist, so had I been monitoring my watchlist, I should have seen it. However, I have 4800 pages on my watchlist, so that method of notification is not working for me. I need to work out something, but that's really my fault not yours. heads up many editors (who manage to monitor their watchlist regularly) do not like Talkback messages. However, I'm not one of them, so feel free to send me a talkback if I'm not responding. Or, as you did, post on my talk page - I do get a notification of that.--SPhilbrick T 11:37, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
