From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article Application portfolio management has been 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. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] May 2007

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Micro Focus. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Thank you. Wildthing61476 17:24, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


A tag has been placed on Micro Focus, 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. Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 17:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Your article has been deleted by an admin. The tone was not neutral and was very much advertisement. Aside from that, I didn't see any assertion of notability. Find some non-trivial independent secondary sources and it may be ok for an article. -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 17:50, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

This sumission was modeled directly on the existing article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilson_Bowden_plc which I presumed to be acceptable. It is not spam in that it does not state anything about the company except the basic who, what and where - who they are, what they do, and where they are located. There were no superlatives, there was no claim of superiority to other companies. It was not spam. Links were provided to two independent industry analysts (Gartner and Forrester) to substantiate notability. A link to a competing company (IBM) was provided for a key product of the company to show it addresses a significant market. Since you give no specifics about the submission but only cite the general guidelines, should I assume that Wikipedia no longer cares to identify Fortune-listed companies considered notable by industry analysts?
