Hi, I appreciate your comment and sorry you decided to decline what others believe is a valid request. after a long discussion with Spintendo and John of reading we reached a paragraph that is completely not promotional but very descriptive of solution capabilities. there is no mentioning of superlatives or any other form of competitive comparison or advantage. it is pure description with all the relevant links and references provided. i would appreciate it if you could revisit this. if Spintendo found it relevant, than there's a way to accept that. many thanks for your consideration Product marketing at Check Point ( talk) 07:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rafi.kretchmer ( talk • contribs) 07:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

@ Rafi.kretchmer: I saw that you wrote to me but put it on my user page, and not my user talk page. I have corrected this for you. I've moved the discussion here so other editors can more easily participate.
Regarding what you are proposing to add to the Check Point page: I fully expect that you're not going to like my opinion, and that's OK. My view is that the addition is not at all encyclopedic -- it reads distinctly as an attempt to sell a product. It is something I would expect to read in a marketing whitepaper, not an encyclopedia. The most that would maybe be salvagable from this would be a brief, one sentence mention that Check Point sells firewall solutions for small-to-large businesses. Any more than that, and we're starting to give undue weight to this one particular aspect of the company in its article. (See WP:PROPORTION - in my view, this applies to all types of topics in articles.) Even then, I think the present content of the article as it stands covers this aspect of the business reasonably well.
I think it is important that I again bring to attention what Wikipedia is (and isn't) for. Quoting from "Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means or promotion": "Wikipedia articles about a company or organization are not an extension of their website or other social media marketing efforts."
At this point, consensus would be required to make this change to the article; as it stands I am not in favor of its inclusion, for all of the reasons I have just stated. – Erakura (talk) 16:54, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Erakura: thanks for your insights. I will look at it again and revise accordingly. will share a new request for edit later Rafi.Kretchmer at Check Point 08:46, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
