[edit] Advertising articles
A tag has been placed on Findamob.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 14:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reposting inappropriate content
Please do not violate Wikipedia policy by introducing inappropriate pages, such as Easymob.co.uk to Wikipedia. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 15:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy tag removal
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices, as you did with Easymob.co.uk. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 15:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Further spamming
Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Findamob. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. andy 15:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reply to your question
Quite realistically, Wikipedia is not for posting your company's "history" unless the company is notable. Even then, we very strongly discourage people from writing about themselves, their employer, or their company, due to very likely conflicts of interest-it is very difficult to maintain a neutral viewpoint when writing about a subject one is close to. If the company becomes notable, someone will eventually write an article on it-but quite realistically, the articles already written are mostly or all advertising.

- If the company/website has had a good deal of coverage in reliable sources which are not affiliated with it (for example, newspapers, magazines, or reputable independent websites), it would be suitable for an article. If it hasn't received that coverage yet, it's probably not suitable for an article here. Is there any such coverage available? Seraphimblade Talk to me Please review me! 16:04, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I've seen enough
It's obvious that this account is used only for advertising (and arguing semantics about what constitutes advertising) so I have blocked you indefinitely. Persistent spammers will have their sites added to our blacklist, where bots will automatically remove any reference to the site added in the future. Kafziel Talk 16:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
