Not finding related articles

When I started this AFD, I had the impression there were some other articles that should be deleted together with this one, but it looks as if they have already been taken care of. --Gerry Ashton (talk) 17:59, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Objection to request for deletion

I am not employed by an advertising agency to create articles about organizations. Any contributions I make to wikipedia are on my own time and dime. Other articles that you felt should be deleted could not have been contributed by me since this is the first and so far only article that I have created. I have, however, made modifications to the ASIC article, and the Mike Farmwald article, which is what you may have noticed although these modifications have not been undone. I based this article on other company articles in wikipedia and took pride in providing citations from reliable sources for all of the content. Soon I will submit two new articles. One on Alchip, another fabless ASIC company, and the second on ParkerVision, an RF IP supplier. Can you suggest edits that would remove your concerns about this article?--Gporter1974 (talk) 04:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would be curious to know if Gporter1974 has read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and believes that his or her edits comply with the policy. Sometimes it is a conflict of interest for an employee to write about a company, even on his or her own time. --Gerry Ashton (talk) 05:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Change opinion

After reviewing Gporter1974's responses and edits since I nominated this article for deletion, I no longer suspect he or she is conducting an advertising campaign and withdraw my suggestion the article be deleted. --Gerry Ashton (talk) 05:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
