I have restored the text to your userspace as User:Colayer/Colayer. The article was deleted because of the G11 criterion of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion:
- Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group, service, or person and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic
I also doubt that the company match WP:CORP notability guideline.
Please rewrite the article in a neutral, encyclopedic style and address the notability concerns. Happy editing Alex Bakharev 11:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Note the comment above. The article is written like an advertisement, not in a encyclopaedic style. You also need to provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the
notability guidelines. I'll hold off for now, to give you a chance to rewrite, but other editors may well still speedy delete this on any of the above criteria.

- How can I avoid other editors to delete the content in the mean time? As you see, you are aware of the situation wereas others not! Is there any tag with which they ALL know about our discussion? Colayer 16:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- For a new technology, notability may be impossible to prove, but your best bet might be to look for independent reviews of the software, mentions in the trade/professional press etc, and add those as a reference section. In terms of presentation, it must be worded less like an advert - fair comparison with similar products would also be a good point to show neutrality. Jimfbleak. talk. 15:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. Will see how best I can neutralise the whole content as references at this stage is impossible to get. Colayer 16:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Given your username and recent edits, you should probably review WP:COI and WP:U. If you are not officially representing Colayer corp, then then you username should be changed. Whether you are or are not, you should also be careful in how you contribute directly to articles related to Colayer corp. -- Ronz 16:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Shadab Lari, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to List of collaborative software. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Ronz 19:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
