Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it does not serve solely to promote the company, but rather provide an encyclopedic entry about software that is widely used and increasingly culturally relevant. Furthermore, there is no promotional material; I am not affiliated with Padlet in any way (I made this page after learning about Padlet from my aunt, a public school teacher) and was careful to only include information available online with a balanced tone. --Lamacha9617 (talk) 04:48, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, as taken from Wikipedia:Field_guide_to_proper_speedy_deletion#11._Blatant_promotion: "Blatant spam is unquestionable, unsalvageable marketing or promotion. It may only use marketing or self-promotional language, it may use the first person a lot, it may provide phone numbers or names of salespeople, it may even have requests that no one else edit the page without the consent of the firm behind it. Everyone agrees that these are articles that do not belong here. Blatant spam is not articles with a questionable tone... or articles about companies that are not promotional in nature." This article uses no marketing or self-promotional language, no first person, etc. If there is a problem with the tone, I would appreciate more detailed feedback. --Lamacha9617 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:02, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Agree this should be KEEP and not a proper target for speedy deletion. It's a website that has a non-trivial number of adopters and public proponents, especially in education, and the company should be documented so people can understand who they are dealing with. I note that, as with the prior draft which was speedy-deleted (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Liz#Padlet_deletion) there is not only an absence of marketing material, but an affirmative inclusion of material about negative response to changes in their business model. If there are specific words which are alleged to be promotional, they should be identified and edited.Oblivy (talk) 05:03, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree this should be a keep, I don't see anything outright promotional here. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 10:00, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
