A tag has been placed on Military Air Power, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}}
on the top of Military Air Power and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. David (talk) 01:27, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

editPlease do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Supermarine Spitfire. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. BCtalk to me 16:25, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to The Monkees. La Pianista (T•C•S•R) 02:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Creating Articles
editFYI
- Yeah, bad typing on my part but i guess if it isn't a big company it's not that important. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stuka115 (talk • contribs) 02:29, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure what makes companies notable, but I don’t think its only size, if they sell or do anything that might be special or unusual, or have had media coverage for something it might be possible. I have created article which are distinctly un-noticeable and only get like 5 hits a month... but in my experience, if your article is of good quality based on at least two or three secondary sources (not the company website), admins can't be bothered to start arguing about notability (I guess this follows the principle that the article might be unnoticeable, but does no harm).... and this can obviously not be found in any Wikipedi policy :-) --SasiSasi (talk) 15:51, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
