Notability of Skyray Instrument

A tag has been placed on Skyray Instrument requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste:talk 14:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your note, which I have reproduced below for your convenience:

Hello - You recently deleted a manufacturers link on the XRF page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XRF#Manufacturers_of_x-ray_Fluorescence_Equipment The page linked ot teh wiki-page of Skyray Instrument. I do not understand the deletion because everybody listed there is linking for the same reasons. Also, the Skyray Instrument page was deleted (obviously no link is available). The information included on that page was based on the information that other XRF manufacturers had on their pages - why was the Skyray Instrument page deleted but not theres? I am here for the same reason as the other manufacturers; we develop a technology relating to an article (or articles) on Wikipedia and would like interested parties to see our technologies. Please contact me with thoughts on how we can be included or consider deleting the other manufacturers link on XRF and company pages.

First of all, pages are considered in and of themselves. The argument "They have a page so we should have a page," or "If we can't they can't", bears no weight on Wikipedia -- see the policy at WP:WAX. If you'd like to contribute to Wikipedia and you feel that you have seen pages that meet our written deletion criteria, such as WP:CORP, feel free to tag them for deletion just as any other editor is enabled to do; I emphasize the idea that those pages should meet our criteria for deletion. If you don't know what those criteria are, or what the difference is between your page and those pages, that would be an excellent place to start learning about the Wikipedia policies that have led to the deletion of your page and I recommend you investigate that material. Second: when a page is deleted, the deleting administrator (me) is required to trace links to the deleted page and delete them too. In this case I felt that it was inappropriate to have a link that led nowhere in what you call the XRF page, because I was deleting the page to which the link led -- so I deleted it. If the article is recreated in a way such that it would meet our policies and remain, it would be entirely in order to reinstate that link and I would encourage you to do so. Third: I deleted the Skyray Instrument page because it did not meet our policy requirements for [[[WP:N|notability]], specifically the corporate requirements at WP:CORP. Essentially, there was no assertion contained within the article that the company was notable in any way, which is grounds for deletion in and of itself, and there were no reliable sources that verified any of the assertions within the article. (Your own website is not considered a reliable source for claims about the excellence of the company's products, etc.) The two "references" were to pages that were unrelated to any information about the company per se; one was a republication of a press release, which also contains no reliability. If you'd like to begin to create an article about this company that meets our requirements, I urge you to read WP:Your first article, Wikipedia:Why was my article deleted?, WP:CORP and links in the welcome message that I left you at the top of this page for hints on how to proceed so that your contribution will meet our policies. Fourth: It's fairly obvious that you have a conflict of interest with respect to this article, which is common for corporate articles. Please make yourself familiar with that policy before proceeding so that any future work you might contribute will not waste your own time. Another policy which it seems from your note you're potentially going to have a problem with is our policy on advertising, and I also encourage you to familiarize yourself with that policy as well. If you "would like interested parties to see our technologies", that's entirely the wrong reason to try to create a Wikipedia article; Wikipedia is not a vehicle for your advertising, it's an encyclopedia. If you have any further questions about Wikipedia policy that are not answered by the links I have suggested above that you read, feel free to leave me another note.
