Adding new pages to Wikipedia looks like a challenge by its own. I created the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Wink on the lines of other Apache projects like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Tomcat and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Abdera.
However soon after I saved it, the page got deleted with the comment: 20:32, 13 August 2009 Deb <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Deb> (talk<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Deb> | contribs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Deb>) deleted "Apache Wink<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apache_Wink&action=edit&redlink=1>" (G11 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#G11>: Unambiguous advertising <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ADS> or promotion) As suggested on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Db-g11 I have contested the delete by posting a message to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Deb#Apache_Wink_deletion . ApacheWink_Wikipedia.gif or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ShivaKumarHR/Apache_Wink shows the content that I had added.
