A tag has been placed on Dawdle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

This article fails WP:CORP and WP:WEB. It simply isn't notable. Do not recreate this article again. Rklawton (talk) 15:31, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Dawdle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

- Again, read WP:CORP and WP:WEB. There's nothing to prove it's notable. Kwsn (Ni!) 17:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think the reason Montgomery Dinghy Dawdle has not been considered for deletion is because it is sponsored by British Waterways. However, a lot of people do agree we have way too many articles on things no one really cares about. Kwsn (Ni!) 17:13, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- If you can get other sources on the page, that'd be great! Kwsn (Ni!) 17:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- The box will be removed when another admin looks at the page and decides if it should be kept or deleted. Kwsn (Ni!) 17:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Emargul, if you would take the time to read the links above, you will understand why this article will be deleted. You are new here. Rather than tell us how to do things, you should focus on learning how (and why) we do things. As with any established community, folks arriving with their own agendas are quickly shown the door. You are welcome to stay, but you must play by our rules. Rklawton (talk) 18:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
