Speedy deletion of NetBox Blue[edit]

A tag has been placed on NetBox Blue, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Dethme0w (talk) 04:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I would like to be able to restore the text from this deleted file if anyone out there in wikiland is listening...

Someone has moved it to User:Mickyounger/NetBox Blue. You may want to consider getting opinions of other editors before moving it to article-space (where it might end up being deleted again.) ~Kylu (u|t) 14:29, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.

This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 03:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the page NetBox Blue to User:Mickyounger/NetBox Blue. You may want to talk to Orangemike as he was the one who deleted it. Moving it back into the article space without first addressing the concerns will result in it being deleted once again. J Milburn (talk) 12:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]


this is the proposed new content[edit]

NetBox Blue Pty Ltd was founded in Brisbane by Trent Davis in 1999. It is currently a privately owned company, with majority shareholders all being Australian residents. NetBox Blue’s head office is in Milton, Queensland, Australia, with branch offices in Sydney, Melbourne and London. NetBox Blue has shown installations of their flagship product in 15 countries around the world, and currently claims over 54,000 clients.

NetBox Blue develops enterprise class email, internet and network management solutions, primarily designed for small and medium business. The main product from NetBox Blue is the UTM NetBox. This appliance aims to provide users with a simple, holistic solution for many common business problems. All of the sales, product development and support are based in Australia.

The Unified Threat Management solution runs on a hardened Linux kernel, and can be deployed as an IBM System X rack-mounted server, a VMware instance, or a small form-factor tower.

In a typical deployment, the UTM NetBox has many key features such as :

In late 2006, NetBox Blue aligned themselves closely with IBM, and has since then been working with the technical team to optimize the solution. In recent times, NetBox Blue has achieved Premier level business partnership alliance with IBM.

NetBox Blue has recently announced a mobile security sister company, titled Leopard Labs. The Leopard Labs solution "Protect" claims a reliable, flexible and cost effective way to filter unwanted and inappropriate internet content on mobile phones. The solution is said to be unique because it sits on the handset, avoiding the need for a server-side solution. "Protect" enables a company to provide NetBox - like policies to mobile fleets as well as network based PCs.

1) This still reads like an advertisement or brochure. Purge it of marketing phrasing like "a simple, holistic solution for many common business problems," "achieved Premier level business partnership alliance with IBM" and "is said to be unique ", as well as the use of the word "solution" anywhere in the article. 2) Only one external link to the subject's own website(s) 3) You need to create real footnotes, not just dump a bunch of stuff at the bottom of the page. See WP:CITE for guidance on how to create footnotes for citations. 3a) A reproduction of a press release is never a reliable source, nor is it evidence of notability. 4) The draft language is in the sandbox, User:Mickyounger/NetBox Blue; it's a waste of space to reproduce it on your talk page. I am copying this to the talk page of the draft article, where it belongs. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:55, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
