Speedy deletion nomination of Qrator.Radar

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 Qrator.Radar, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://radar.qrator.net/faq. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. GSS ^💬 06:06, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Shapelez, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

Thanks for message. Although you have declared your COI, you must use the template {{paid|user={{BASEPAGENAME}}|employer=''InsertName''|client=''InsertName''}}, which you should copy to your user page, complete and save. Also, I note you said My aim is to work with and seek advice from impartial editors to make positive contributions to Qrator Labs' and related products articles You do not own the page, people can put what they like as long as it is properly sourced. Even if you've declared your conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below:

you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Your article was largely sourced to the company itself, not independent third-party-sources. You also seem to be just describing the product, not clear how it meets the notability criteria.
You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Note that because of your COI you must write as a draft and have it reviewed, you can't move it to user space yourself.

We often restore deleted text on request, but for legal reasons we don't do so for copyright violations, so that won't be done here where it's copied from the company's copyrighted website. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:00, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming that this edit was an error rather than vandalism. It's not for you to decide what is visible on my talk, although you can, of course, post your own messages and refer back to any previous postings Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:29, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Jimfbleak (talk · contribs), I am sorry, I was struggling to comment on our previous discussion thread, where I asked some additional questions but they are not visible from your talk page anymore and I could find them only through user contributions. Again, I am sorry, I was just trying to get my question answered. Should I make a repost of my questions there as a new message at your talk page? Shapelez (talk) 10:32, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That might be better Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:40, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More

I've made these edits, please check. I've also indicated unsourced statements

References should follow punctuation, not the other way round

Is "peerings" a real word or a typo?

Besides the BGP analytics service development, Qrator.Radar is also a routing incident reporting team has six refs, Qrator.Radar is a tool has five. You need one, at most two, refs to confirm each statement, you shouldn't give every place where it's mentioned.

Refs 20 and 21 read oddly, with the weird opening

Bear in mind that other editors can still challenge what you have written

Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:47, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Jimfbleak. Peerings is a real world, see Peering. Also, i've made changes into provided refs, and found additional to cover the needed citations. Do you think I could try and submit the draft for review? Shapelez (talk) 12:01, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Qrator.Radar and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Qrator.Radar, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Qrator.Radar (July 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by HighKing was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

As per WP:NCORP we require in-depth information on the product (service) written by a third party and not based on company-generated info such as announcements, quotations, interviews, listings, etc.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Qrator.Radar and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.
