From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article Nixle has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:50, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Nixle

A tag has been placed on Nixle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Rnb (talk) 23:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: NIXLE

Looking through the deleted version of Nixle I noticed that the only listed source that mentioned the company's name was the company founder's personal webpage. Further checks found that Google News lists no articles about this company[1] and Yahoo! Finance has no information on this organization.[2] Based on these findings, I see nothing to differentiate NIXLE from the multitude of other small businesses that exist but lack encyclopedic notability. Please see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for further details.

If you wish to see an article about this company survive then the first step is finding reliable sources independent of NIXLE that actually provide information about the company (see Wikipedia:Verifiability#Burden of evidence). Without these sources the it is highly unlikely that an article on this organization will survive. You should also be aware that repeated attempts to add articles on organizations that fail to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for inclusion can be viewed as advertising or self-promotion. --Allen3 ^talk 01:05, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
