From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A tag has been placed on Mobile Device Manager, 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. Realkyhick 17:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Do not remove a speedy-delete tag from a page. If you wish to contest the speedy deletion, follow the procedure detailed above. Improperly removing a speedy-delete tag may result in your being blocked from editing for a period of time.

Furthermore, you indicated in your edit comment that this is a simple copy-and-paste from the company website. While the sentence you apparently copied is not much in itself, be advised that copying and pasting is a copyright violation, which in and of itself is a violation of Wikipedia policy and also grounds for speedy deletion. If the web site is yours or your company's, you may allow Wikipedia to use it under the GFDL, but then you also risk having the article nominated for deletion as advertising. If it isn't your website, you can get around the problem by simply writing about the company or product in your own words — just make sure it doesn't sound like you're promoting the item or firm being written about.
