~~EBE123~~ talkContribs 14:47, 16 April 2011 (UTC)The article Data Management Inc. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Article fails to explain why company is notable per WP:CORP. No WP:RS to show that subject meets WP:GNG. Majority of content is unreferenced, with only citations being a local newspaper profile and links to award listings, which do not automatically convey notability.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kinu t/c 17:26, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Kinu. Thank you for reviewing my article. This is my first attempt at researching a company, so I apologize for the initial lack of references. I spent the better part of Wednesday (4/20/11) fixing that, with the aim to address each concern that was raised by you and other editors, so that my article would fall within the guidelines of Wikipedia. My research will hopefully help people know what Data Management, Inc. is and what they do. I was inspired by the Microsoft and Google wikis and while my article is nothing by comparison, it hopefully will be at least one step in that direction. As far as sources, I provided at least 12 more sources – 9 of which were publications that wrote articles on Data Management, Inc. (DMI), 1 of which was DMI’s website, and 2 being interviews conducted with two DMI vice presidents. This was a very exciting opportunity. I felt like a journalist and, in the end, my original interest in writing was heightened by the experience.
As to the notability of Data Management, Inc., while tracking down more information and sources, I confirmed that there has been "significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources" - in particular (among the 9 cited publications) some major ones including, but not limited to, the New York Times and Miami Herald. I found even more publications than what I cited, less notable than New York Times, but still notable, covering Data Management Inc. In addition to coverage by several publications, Data Management's growth over the last 20 years has been considerable.
Their expansion into the web, their recent OnDemand service (digital distribution of the Web solution), and their telephony and smart phone advances, have turned what began as a simple DOS application provider into something much more vast.
Where they began in 1988 and where they are now is what inspired me to tell their story.
I hope that my article can receive a better rating and if there is any thing else that you see that is lacking, please let me know, so I can improve on it even more.
Thank you for your direction, sir. --Dmarkwilliams (talk) 13:52, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Schedule1.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Schedule1.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 06:43, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of TimeClock Plus
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on TimeClock Plus, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Themself (talk) 21:15, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Webclock.png
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:Webclock.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.
