Speedy deletion of Nextmark

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Nextmark requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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.

As the president of NextMark, I may have a conflict of interest in editing the Nextmark article. I've just reviewed the policy and see that I need to be very careful about making edits to this article. Joe Pych (talk) 06:16, 1 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of NextMark

edit

It was deleted because an admin, Spartaz, agreed that it did not meet the criteria. This can happen even if a speedy is contested. You can develop your article in a sandbox and put it live when you think it's ready. You could even ask an administrator whether it meets the criteria before putting it live, getting some feedback. regards, TrulyBlue (talk) 16:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

As noted in the speedy deletion notification above, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. They will likely copy it to a sandbox in your userspace (e.g. User:Jpych/Nextmark) so you can develop it. Regards, TrulyBlue (talk) 18:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (File:NextMark-logo.png)

You've uploaded File:NextMark-logo.png, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

That's because an admin deleted the related Nextmark article. Joe Pych (talk) 15:51, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
