[edit] Eurescom

Eurescom (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Advertising, user created other pages which were either deleted or nominated for speedy deletion, on affiliate companies. These articles contained exactly the same text as is present on the website he linked to, and are written in an uninformative biased way.--Jackaranga 17:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - Eurescom is a genuinely important organisation in an important field and their members include some of the biggest companies in the world. The page doesn't have a great deal of content but is certainly not spam, and although unsourced it contains multiple genuine external links and could certainly be sourced easily. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:48, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I know I nominated it for deletion but, I added the afd template mainly because, I thought wikipedia was not meant for advertising your own company, but I may have misunderstood the WP pages, they are fairly complex because so fragmented. Even the page explaining how to put the afd template on the page is wrong! Sorry about this. I don't understand though now why another one of his articles I tagged as speedy delete, was removed, as it was very similar to the Eurescom page! Maybe someone should put it back, if they can, again sorry for any disturbance I caused, I only tagged these pages because I misunderstood and thought you weren't allowed to promote your company on wikipedia.--Jackaranga 11:12, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - I am the editor of the Eurescom entry and apologise for my inexperience with Wikipedia and the lack of certain formal elements for a Wikipedia entry. I have amended the entry to reflect the wikipedia requirements. This is definitely not advertising, but factual information on an organisation which is relevant for research and development in European telecommunications. Further improvements of the article by others are, of course, welcome. Migup 11:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Yes sorry I was wrong to put it up for deletion.--Jackaranga 11:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
