Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Roomba do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Robotshop

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Robotshop, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Robotshop

An article that you have been involved in editing, Robotshop, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robotshop. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to Wikipedia, though I joined a while back. I have read through the CORP section and cannot figure out why the article is to be deleted. If it does not follow a particular guideline, your help would be appreciated in pointing out which ones so that they may be corrected. RobotShop is a notable company for many reasons and should be included in the general knowledge base of Wikipedia.

Voting at an AfD

Anyone, including an article's creator, can participate in an AfD, and can cast a !vote (pronounced not-vote, because Articles for discussion is not a vote). Sometimes, though, I will post a comment rather than a !vote when I want to offer an observation but am not sure whether the article should be kept or not. --Eastmain (talk) 20:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciated. I hope to help where I can with other articles as well and the more knowledgeable I become about Wikipedia.--Cbenson1 (talk) 20:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think Robotshop should probably be kept, despite its limited impact on the world so far, among other reasons to counter an anglophone bias. However, my fence-sitting comment was more important than 'not voting': in particular, if you know of any more national or international press the company or its products had, add it in now and it may sway the outcome. If it doesn't and it goes, keep a copy, and recreate it when the company gets more widespread coverage.

Thanks for your perseverance in getting to know Wikipedia quickly: I think it would be fair to call your first week a baptism of fire. Welcome.

Only so much time can be spent editing one article. I will try my best, but I tend to agree more and more with the increasing trend that Wikipedia has hit a plateau and having so many admins, the tendency is to delete rather than create. There's only so much foam left in my extinguisher. --Cbenson1 (talk) 12:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for realizing that I wasn't just snapping to make quick decisions. Hopefully you can make other contributions to Wikipedia in the future. - Jameson L. Tai ^{talk ♦ contribs} 23:30, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
