A tag has been placed on Malibu Boats, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Malibu Boats
editI noticed your request for unprotection for Malibu Boats. While I am not an administrator and thus will not make a final action, I did see a few problems with your request:
- If the company is creating/writing the article, it is a conflict of interest
- The article, while it was around, was frankly a complete mess. Please see WP:MOS.
- If you truly insist on making the article, it is probably a good idea to start a sandbox in your userspace so that you may start on the article and make it inclusion-worthy.
- Once you have a good draft of the article in your sandbox, the chances of the page being unprotected are much higher.
- If you are going to start a sandbox, do it at this link
- When you are done with the sandbox and you think it is ready to be an article, fille another request for unprotection and cite your sandbox. When it is unprotected, move the sandbox to the intended article space, Malibu Boats.
Best of luck, and if you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer. Inferno, Lord of Penguins 20:09, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Your sandbox
editI was just dropping in to see how your sandbox was doing, and it actually looked alright. The only potentially negatives to the article are
- History section needs citations
- Current models needs citations
- Needs some expansion
Correct those, and you're on the right track! Inferno, Lord of Penguins 21:51, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

editSorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I was on vacation, so that's why. I don't have a lot of experience with images and uploaded files, though I think Help:Images_and_other_uploaded_files and Wikipedia:User access levels#Autoconfirmed_users may be able to help you with your image problem.

Page move
editHi, Tjinkc. I just moved your sandbox to Malibu Boats. Also, you accidentally created [[Talk:User:Tjinkc/sandbox]] for the discussion location, which was also at the correct sandbox talk page. Since it's a duplicate and unnecessary, I deleted it (hence the red link). Feel free to ask if you need anything else. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 22:01, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Malibu Boats
editWell, I was going to come and help you get it moved, but it looks like it has already been moved. It does look much better, I have to say. Anyways, my vacation is over, so I'll be availible if you have any more questions. Cheers, Inferno, Lord of Penguins 22:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
