Status and Advice
editThe article did include some content that was from Informa Telecoms and Media, but I should probably have specified that the more critical reason was that it was highly promotional.
A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise the quality of the organization or its products. Don't talk about the overall importance of the subject--this content was half of the submitted article--talk about what the subject has itself accomplished. Don't include material that would better belong in an advertisement or a web page, Remember not to copy from a web site, or prior publication -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM (permission that irrevocably gives everyone in the world the right to copy, reuse, and modify the material) , the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable, as was the case here.
Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective purchasers--that sort of content is considered promotional.
Additionally, a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. If you have such sources, it may be possible to rewrite the article; otherwise, it will not be possible to write an acceptable article. The sources present are mostly either about the general topic, or based on press releases. The most usable of them is the one indicating the rank among similarly financed companies, butthatalone is not enough.
As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. A If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity, and for the presence of sources that show notability. The best way of rewriting is to use the WP:Article Wizard, which will guide you towards an acceptable article if one is possible.

- Getting there. It is not too promotional at this point. But I am not sure it will hold in mainspace, because of lack of evidence of notability . I see the awards. The people who know more about the field can judge better, but to me they seem more than trivial, but unfortunately also less than clearly major. What this article needs is reviews of the products, substantial reviews from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, The difficulty is that these are not consumer products, and relatively rarely get such reviews. If you want to take the chance of the article being deleted you can do so; it is hard to predict for articles like this, but my experience is that it would probably be rejected by consensus. (I am not saying whether or not it ought to be, but rather I am trying to give you the best advice I can from my several years experience in discussing articles listed for deletion.) , Therefore it would be much better if you added the reviews first; two solid reviews would certainly do it. There is no need to go through the formal submission process--just let me know when you've found and added them. DGG ( talk ) 22:03, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi DGG, I've added an additional two articles as you have suggested. Thank you for your review and time.
Your Latest draft
editI have moved it from your sand box to User:Cbranin/SpiderCloud Wireless- this is still a page in your space but has the company title. Please bear in mind the advice about writing the article in your own words, not the words of another website.

Thank you for moving the article over. Yes, the article is absolutely written in our own words, stripped of ANYTHING superfluous or advertisement based. It is absolute bare bones minimum, but am afraid at this point of adding anything additional. Advice?
The techworldcom article just mentions the company; the MWC one does., and would be usable--but as I read it , it reports general doubt that the "in just days" claim is supportable. I'll move it to mainspace if you want, but the odds are 50:50. DGG ( talk ) 01:18, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
