[edit] PinStack

Delete - Advertisement. Article was deprodded by author without explanation, so bringing it to AFD. Also, author has moved link to pinstack up the list at BlackBerry, which seems to reinforce to me that this is advertising since the author has no other edits. Brian G 15:38, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

• How you you delete it? I've BEEN trying. I figured since there are pages like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fark and MANY more that simply explains company and what's it about etc. I would start one also. Seems it offends. Also I noticed other links were moved up in the blackberry page so figured it was practice. I wanted to replace the current about site page to use wikipedia. I guess my bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crackberry (talk • contribs) 18:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Crackberry, please do not take offense. Quoting from WP:GD - "Please do not take it personally. Please remember that the deletion process is about the appropriateness of the article for inclusion in Wikipedia. A deletion nomination is not a rejection of the author or an attack on his/her value as a member of the Wikipedia community." The way that your article is formatted and the way that you promoted the link on the Blackberry page, and since you mentioned on my talk page that you were modifying the About page at the website to point to Wikipedia all adds up to me as advertising. But, remember that the way this works is that I only nominate the article, that does not automatically mean it will be deleted. Other members of the community will come here and give their opinions on the matter before an administrator makes a decision. --Brian G 19:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Are you saying that because i'm trying to replace the 'About Pinstack' page on our site by sending visitors to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinstack that i'm advertising? Plagiarized??? I own everything on pinstack i'm really confused now about this service.

As i was explaining earlier I notice a few sites link to wiki for their about page as its a limitless Encyclopedia. It seemed very cool to have the site defined here. However, the LAST thing I want to do is break rules or for Pinstack to be viewed as if are trying to advertise. We use google's adwords for that. With that said how many people do you think will be searching for the term PinStack? :S The point of adding it was for users who already know know of pinstack. Please if it MUST be removed please do so asap! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crackberry (talk • contribs) 10:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
