Speedy deletion nomination of SmartAction

A tag has been placed on SmartAction, 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 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Articles for deletion nomination of SmartAction

I have nominated SmartAction, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SmartAction. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. ApprenticeFan ^{talk contribs} 10:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Smart Action

your article still falls short of proving it is notable for a company in my opinion. It is also really heavy in the description of services and products...which is why it reads like an advertisement rather than an encyclopedia article. Check out Booz Allen Hamilton for what I consider a good article about a company, and see what elements you can use to improve your article.Coffeepusher (talk) 15:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

you certainly have been lacking in the encouragement department yet you still edit, and haven't blown up at anyone...that alone deserves recognition, additionally your work has been good. getting thrown into an AFD on your first edit is tough, its like learning how to fight by crawling out of the trenches for the first time...no matter what happens please feel free to contact me, and I will help you as much as I can.Coffeepusher (talk) 05:40, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

If you are referring to the tag on top that states that there is a discussion on wither or not to delete the article, only an administrator can delete that tag and only after the AFD discussion has been "closed" by an administrator. this discussion has not been closed because the adminsitrators who have viewed the discussion felt that more discussion was necessary. look at the top of the articles for deletion page which have a lot of links to explain the process in full. usually the discussion goes on for 7 days, however it doesn't appear that consensus has been reached so...well we keep discussing it until someone decides to close it. now if you are referring to something else, let me know more specifically what spam tag you are talking about.Coffeepusher (talk) 19:13, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

ok, I looked back and saw what you were talking about. I think it is fine for you to remove a tag since the article has been much improved since it was places. Now if someone replaces the tag, then a discussion should take place on the talk page to justify the placement. both you and the other editor should strive to come to some sort of agreement on what conditions should be met for the tag to be removed (note that this is an ideal communicative situation, one which rarely comes about...most tag discussions are solved by "lots of yelling and arguing followed by the owner of the game having the final say" Munchkin (card game) rules...well someone goes away is what usually happens). anyway hope this helpsCoffeepusher (talk) 19:21, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate that. Don't forget that I was the one who initially tagged the article (and started your frustrating experience with Wikipedia) I came around when you demonstrated not only a willingness to grow from criticism, but that you were writing what has become a really good article. good luck and if you ever need some help let me know.Coffeepusher (talk) 06:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
