A tag has been placed on Handii 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 a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

- The criteria we use for companies are at WP:CORP. The best way to avoid the article being deleted is to explain how it meets those criteria. - Mgm|(talk) 11:18, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Exactly what I was going to say. There's another criterion, namely that of content. All the sentence stated was that Handii is a computer manufacturer, nothing more. That's grounds for deletion. SOmeone researching the subject knows what Handii is. It's up to you to tell the end user about the comapny in non-promotional terms. WP:STUB has the info you need to create a good stub article. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
