Halogen Software – Clear consensus that enough time has passed that you can try your hand at writing a new article. – Spartaz ^Humbug! 04:32, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Halogen Software (talk`\|`edit`\|`history`\|`logs`\|`links`\|`watch) (XfD`\|`restore) Since the deletion Halogen Software has made a number of advancements, including becoming a public company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (one of the few tech companies in Canada on the exchange). I work at Halogen Software, but having this page restored is not part of my responsibilities at Halogen. I would like to work on redoing the page so that it meets Wikipedia's standards because I believe that a public company like Halogen should have a page on Wikipedia. The administrator that deleted the page has taken a break from Wikipedia - I have tried to comment and post on his page but received no response. Mikeypotter (talk) 19:48, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply] XFD2 Comment given that the page was deleted in 2007, I don't think you need to be here (though the last deletion did suggest DRV, it's that long ago I think that can be ignored). You can just create the article and if there is still a problem someone would need to AFD it again. I'm assuming here that there probably won't much that is useful to you on the original article. It's probably a good idea to create it in a sandbox of your userspace first and move it into mainspace when you think it's ready (or better still get some experienced editors to review it first) --62.254.139.60 (talk) 22:11, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply] Allow recreation - IP's advice is good advice. You might like to start it at User:Mikeypotter/Halogen Software draft. You should be aware, though, that the company would need to meet WP:GNG or more specifically, WP:CORPDEPTH (the inclusion criteria for companies). Being one of the only tech companies on a particular stock exchange probably wouldn't be enough for the company to be considered notable. You're obviously aware of your potential conflist of interest and you'll just need to manage that in line with those guidelines. By the way, the last admin to delete the page was actually User:Citicat though I did see your good-faith attempt to contact User:Tyrenius who had deleted it previously. Citicat has been active recently and might have some good advice. Stalwart111 02:48, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply] Close as Moot - Go ahead and build the article, this doesn't need to run through Deletion Review. Just make sure that you have multiple, independently published sources dealing with the subject in a substantial way and that you don't recreate the deleted article — build from scratch. No bureaucratic authorization needed, just do it — but source it up, because it will be watched. Best regards, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 01:13, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply] Moot Per Carrite.
