Hello...just a quick question. Are you creating the above page in readiness to move it over to the main article space? I have real doubts that it would satisfy our criteria for inclusion, which you can find more information about here, and it may even be deemed as spam. Do you have any connection to the organisation itself? GbT/c 21:05, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hiya - thanks for the reply. If you think it satisfies the criteria of notability, then you need to demonstrate that notability by citing reliable sources. You've got three external links or references. One of those is from the company's own website, which doesn't qualify as a reliable source. The Wall Street Journal source looks okay, but the ABA Journal doesn't really say why the company's special. Just because it has a unique or innovative marketing plan doesn't necessarily make the company notable, and at the moment I think the article is struggling to say "Yes, this company merits inclusion". Are there any other reliable external sources which have covered the company? GbT/c 21:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi,
I have changed the licensing status to GFDL. I was waiting on a response from the copyright holder and had not listed the license previously for this reason. Thanks for your help.

Speedy deletion of Lateral Link
edit
A tag has been placed on Lateral Link, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
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 a copy be emailed to you. Ravenswing 14:00, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
- I have placed the deleted content at /Lateral Link. Do you have permission to release the company logo under the GFDL? If not, it should be deleted or properly licensed. –xeno (talk) 22:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Lateral Link.gif
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Lateral Link.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en
wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en
wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NuclearWarfare contact meMy work 00:29, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
