[edit] Net Perceptions

A tag has been placed on Net Perceptions, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does 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 assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] To be absolutely honest

I've never yet seen someone manage to create an unbiased, encyclopedic article on their own company. In my experience, Conflict of Interest makes it practically impossible. When people create articles on themselves, they always look like ads, even when the authors believe them to be unbiased. IBM and Microsoft did not create the articles on those companies. Notable companies don't need to. Other people create articles on them if they're deserving of an article, and numerous other people will contribute. Dozens of people have contributed to those articles. Fan-1967 22:26, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
