From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article Media spiders 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.

Do not recreate speedily deleted articles. The articles you are creating are considered spam and are inappropriate for Wikipedia. If you have any questions please ask them on my talk page. --Daniel J. Leivick 01:29, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to create inappropriate pages such as Media spiders, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. FreplySpang 01:42, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Even if the article is about a company:

  1. The article needs to be written from a neutral point of view. It can't advertise or promote the company.
  2. The article needs to be written in an encyclopedic style. See, for instance, Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles#Tone.
  3. The article needs to show that the company meets our standards for articles about companies.
  4. The article cannot be copied from the company's own website or other materials unless they have released that material under the GFDL - which is fairly unlikely. See our Copyright FAQ for details. Even if the company does release the material under the GFDL, it would need to be thoroughly rewritten to meet the requirements for neutrality and tone.
  5. If you are connected to the company in some way - for instance, you work there or you were hired to do promotion for them - please do not write a Wikipedia article about them. We consider that to be a conflict of interest that makes neutrality very difficult. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for more information.
