Hello,
I am new to Wikipedia and have read several of the available resources re: stub creation, the limitations, how only factual information should be written, what sources have validity, etc. but unfortunately, my ZFrost A-Prime Material Handling content has been marked for speedy deletion. I have followed the content style and format of existing stubs within the 'Material Handling Company' category such as Clark Material Handling and the Yale listing but still my stub has been marked for deletion.
Please help me understand what edits need to be made in order for my stub article to publish. My original content read as follows:
A-Prime Handling, Inc Located in the Industrial Park of Avon, MA A-Prime Handling, Inc. (more commonly known as "A-Prime") is a national facility service, sales and installation company for material handling products. It's core business consists of selling, coordinating, delivering, servicing and installing the material handling products that it provides as well as those already owned by its clients. Essentially moving a retailer's products from their mode of delivery to their final destination.
History
Founded in 1977, with just two employees, A-Prime Handling, Inc. started as a pallet rack and mezzanine installation company known as Master Installers. It's founder and current company president, Michael Zelman started the company after working in the material handling industry for several years. However, the actual A-Prime Handling, Inc. enterprise did not exist until January 1990 as a result of Michael Zelman's desire to start selling material handling products in addition to simply installing them. Then, because of A-Prime Handling, Inc.'s success and increased recognition within the material handling industry, Michael Zelman decided to consolidate the businesses leaving Master Installers to fade away in 2004 and operate under the A-Prime Handling, Inc. name.
Today, A-Prime Handling, Inc. is a national material handling facility service and product provider, hired by leading retailers within the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.

Speedy deletion nomination of A-prime material handling
edit
A tag has been placed on A-prime material handling 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:46, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
The article itself in what we call the "mainspace" ie the main article space, was deleted. The article still exists in your userspace at User:ZFrost/A-Prime Handling, Inc.. I have edited it a little bit to make it more like other Wikipedia articles in terms of its formatting. What you need to do to make sure the article is not deleted is to indicate why the company is important or significant. This is helped by proving the company's notability in the Wikipedia sense, please read Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for all the information regarding this. So, basically, you need to state why the company is special and back this up with references. Once you have done that I suggest you ask an experienced editor to check whether it meets the guidelines and they should help you move it. Regards, Woody (talk) 23:41, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
