Speedy deletion nomination of User:Carld307/sandbox

Hello Carld307,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged User:Carld307/sandbox for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Djembayz (talk) 03:05, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Djembayz, Can you please tell me how/why you consider the article promotional? I'd be happy to rewrite but would like to know beforehand what seems promotional. Paragraph 1 is boilerplate simply telling who New Pig is and what's it's become. It's true; it's factual. Paragraphs 2, 3, 4 tells how & why the product was invented and how the company got its name. This answers the number one question on everyone's mind, "Where did the pig name come from?" So doesn't it makes sense to include that information? Paragraphs 5 & 6 describe the company's growth over 30 years. Again only facts, not promotion. By the way, the article is patterned after another Pennsylvania company on Wikipedia, Mine Safety Appliances, which tells about its company's history, products and growth. Isn't this similar to what we tried to do? So please let me know what should be done to make the article less promotional and acceptable for Wikipedia. Thanks for your help and consideration in this matter. Carld307 (talk) 18:40, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

As per previous instructions, added verifiable, reliable sources

What am I missing? Is it quantity? I can add more reliable sources if that's the problem. Is it quality? Please provide more specific direction. Thank you. Carld307 (talk) 17:03, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
