Talk:Shindig (video chat platform)

Page contents not supported in other languages.

I believe that I explained what Shindig Events is and what it offers in a non-advertising, non-promotional way. I'd be happy to edit the article so that it conforms with Wikipedia's guidelines. Can you give me some reasoning as to why the article is tagged for Speedy Deletion?

Thanks.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... The information about Shindig Events is presented with no adjectives or praise. It seeks to explain what the company does and why/how it is newsworthy. I understand why your policy is in place to prevent pure promotional info from being posted, but the way that I presented the Shindig Events details seeks to clarify, not to sell/advertise. --KentFrederick (talk) 12:31, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (I tried to keep it as factual, unbiased, and adjective free as possible. The company is utilizing a new and very different video chat technology in its online events, and I sought to make this info informational rather than promotional. If I didn't achieve this, I'd be happy to revise.) --KentFrederick (talk) 18:28, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KentFrederick, I think you'd help your argument if you cited reputable sources for the claims made in the article.--Vistawhite (talk) 05:28, 30 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again. Each claim made in the article, each bit of information should be backed up by a credible source, and the reference cited. And, I think you'll be better off if you use more than the article from Fueled.--Vistawhite (talk) 13:24, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --KentFrederick (talk) 21:34, 12 September 2012 (UTC) This page had been approved, and was posted, using a previous title: Shindig Events.[reply]

Why was that page approved, and now with a new title, is it marked for deletion?

Thank you,

Kent Frederick

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
