Reliable sources[edit]

Hello Elaide, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your efforts to improve article sourcing. If you don't mind a quick tip though, please make sure to read WP:RS for Wikipedia's requirements regarding reliable sources. Generally, blogs and other forms of personal self-published websites without editorial oversight and unclear expertise should be avoided (WP:BLOGS). Commercial websites are often problematic, as their main intent is (usually) not the presentation of reliable unbiased information, but to sell their stuff or to polish their own reputation. Such links are not generally prohibited, but should be used only as a last resort in rare cases - non-promotional independent sources (for example expert books, academic journals, reputed news media, or official reliable websites) are almost always preferred.

I have removed some of the mentioned problematic references, but kept valuable link additions to journals and similar sources. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions - I'd be glad to help. You can also post for Wikipedia-related advice at WP:Teahouse, a forum for new editors. Best regards.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nimble (company)[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 Nimble (company), 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 or person 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/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your draft article, Draft:Small business trends[edit]

Hello, Elaide. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Small business trends".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (📧) 08:20, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
