Proposed deletion of Aerotech Alloys
editThe article Aerotech Alloys has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable company. only 6 google hits - and that doesn't even include the company's own website!
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 19:13, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- I see that you removed the unreferenced tag and the notability tag (which was then put back by another editor).
- Although your comment Google is not an aerospace industry expert. I hardly think one can use google as evidence. Otherwise, we become limited in scope to what google tracks. The aerospace community should decide may be true, for this to be an article which meets the criteria set for Wikipedia articles, you need to provide:
- Citations from reliable third-party sources - the company's own website does not count as a reliable source. Examples would include material from mainstream news organizations is welcomed, particularly the high-quality end of the market, for example the Washington Post in the United States and the Times in Britain, as well as widely used conglomerates such as the Associated Press. Websites used primarily for advertising, and the company's own website (while perhaps useful as External links) are not reliable sources.
- Proof of notability of the company. The general guide is If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. In particular, may I suggest that you read the Wikipedia guidelines for the notability of Companies.
- If you feel that you can provide both proof of the company's notability and provide reliable citations about the company and its products, please add these to the article.
- Again, I would strongly suggest that you read Wikipedia's guidelines for citations, Wikipedia's general guidelines for notability and Wikipedia guidelines for the notability of Companies.
- If you have any queries, please feel free to contact me by using the Contact Me link in my signature.
