Speedy deletion nomination of Booyami

Hello 凰兰时罗,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Booyami for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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. TheLongTone (talk) 13:49, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

@TheLongTone: I disagree with your interpretation.

1. I'm not affiliated with this company in any way. I'm simply writing about regional business and non-profit entities.
2. The article is based exclusively on credible sources. No information was taken from the company's websites.
3. Alongside positive information, the article includes negative or questionable information (changes in the business model, failure to raise planned amounts of money, difficulties with selling Finagraph to financial institutions.) --凰兰时罗 (talk) 14:34, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

@TheLongTone:

• I just re-read WP:SPAM that serves as the basis for your nomination. Look, to nominate the article for speedy deletion, you have to show that the article is a "blatant example of advertising masquerading as article." You'll have to agree that this is definitely not the case here.
• Furthermore, by "advertising" WP:SPAM means "solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual." There is no solicitations in the article whatsoever, and as I mentioned above, next to positive information (from credible sources), there is negative information. That means that the article won't qualify for "slow deletion" either.
• Look, I understand that you're just trying to make positive contributions, and you work hard to make sure that Wikipedia is getting better by the day. But we are human, and we all make mistakes. The rule says "a differentiation should be made between spam articles and legitimate articles about commercial entities." I think in this particular case you didn't make this differentiation, and your nomination is incorrect. Since you are not replying (probably stepped away from your computer), I'll remove the template for now. If you insist on it, we will put it back, and I'll proceed to look for a second opinion. 凰兰时罗 (talk) 15:40, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

It is not done to remove speedy delete notices from articles you wote yourself. As for @as per discussion on talk page'...it takes two to have a discussion. All you did was state your weak case.TheLongTone (talk) 15:06, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

@TheLongTone: Please provide more specific arguments. My 'weak case' cites the rules. 凰兰时罗 (talk) 15:09, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Explaining

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 00:28, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

@DragonflySixtyseven: Got it. I didn't realize that even user pages are patrolled. Thanks for the explanation! 凰兰时罗 (talk) 00:38, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
