[edit] Vertroleum

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

Advertising thrice deleted, Creator asserts significant brand name and encyclopedic content. . Dlohcierekim 13:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The information on Vertroleum is no more nonsense or blatant promotion than articles for Coca-Cola or Ipods. It IS information on a product that deserves looking at. If it is deleted again I will honor and not contest but I still do not understand the difference in this article and those posted by companies and individuals touting other products. I have read rules for posting and in MHO a good many product listed here also break those rules. Again just my 2 cents DMMc (talk) 13:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

delete Except those are well established products with a cultural significance and independent citations as such. Yours isn't.

Comment Too clarify, Ipod and Coco Cola meet the "household name" test of WP:N. We forget sometimes that new users are not as knowledgeable about policies as we are. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:01, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Delete - blatant advertising, no sources listed. Tnxman307 (talk) 13:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

You are correct...I am a new user and I do understand. I will endeavor to post better in the future. DMMc (talk) 14:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

My first article got deleted too. <<sigh>> Dlohcierekim 14:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy delete, WP:CSD A7 and G11: absolutely no indicia of notability, and obvious advertising. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as advertisement for a non notable product.--Berig (talk) 16:11, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - Spam. Yes, in theory the product could be notable. However, no independant sources confirm this: none provided, none found. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 17:05, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy delete via A7 or G11 for a promotional article on a non-notable product. And to the author: don't worry, writing an article from scratch has a rather steep learning curve. Bfigura ^(talk) 22:58, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy delete - this article has already been deleted three times and has not been improved at all. It's advertising. Rob Banzai (talk) 16:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
