Your recent addition to Exinda, which included text from [1], has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Exinda

A tag has been placed on Exinda requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I don't delete the things, so sure. Ironholds (talk) 20:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Exinda Next steps

I have now opened up a deletion review at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 August 25#Exinda to get the stub moved back in article space. The next hurdle will now be to cope with the dozens of minute policies for articles on Wikipedia - I suggest you familiarize yourself with WP:FIRST in order to get solid guidelines.

On this matter, I'm afraid that the latest links you added, like the LinkedIn profile, aren't permissible. It's a marathon, I know :) MLauba (talk) 19:31, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks MLauba! Much appreciated (again). How does the page look now? I understand Commons will still need an email authorization for the company logo. All best, Hass2009 (talk) 19:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

• Coming along quite nicely. Re: the logo, if you really want it on commons (which means it can be re-used without hassle in different language Wikipedias, and I believe this to be desirable), it will indeed needs a proper OTRS release. Also note that the file could be deleted before the article gets re-created, but this will be easier to handle than the article itself. Alternatively, having the file on en-wikipedia only enables you to use it under non-free (fair use) rationale on this wikipedia site only - whatever is most convenient to Exinda.

Last but not least, here's my next piece of advice: the article should be readable by people without any IT background. Too much jargon can detract from the article's readability. MLauba (talk) 20:07, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Exinda up

OK, we're through with the matter. The stub is now up, and to (belatedly) answer the other worry, I believe we have provided sufficient independent non-trivial third party reliable sources to demonstrate that the company has enough notability to pass the inclusion bar. As I said above, if you expand the article further, be particularly mindful that you're writing for the general public instead of an IT audience, also mind that this is meant to be an encyclopedic article rather than a press release (that also means that you will have to make sure your management understands that should Exinda ever be hit by negative headlines, you wouldn't be allowed to remove a mention of them from the article), and please, do be extra aware of WP:COI.

In general, provided other editors start picking up on the article, the best approach going forward would be to suggest changes, improvements, additions of further significant coverage or corrections on the article's talk page and letting these other editors handle them.
