Welcome!

Hello, 5together, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Noble Formula™, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Noble Formula™


A tag has been placed on Noble Formula™ 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:34, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Noble Formula
You posted on the talk page of the now deleted article:

''Dove is a brand and has a Wikipedia article. Head & Shoulders is a brand and has a Wikipedia article. Neutrogena is a brand and has a Wikipedia article. Noble Formula should have the same opportunity to present information as these other brands have.''

Two Comments:
 * 1) This statement betrays an important misunderstand of how Wikipedia works. We do not want Dove or Head & Shoulders or Noble Formula (or representatives of their company or marketing arms) to present information on the brands. We strive for a Neutral Point of View, and it is difficult for people with a Conflict of Interest to write neutrally. If we identify a representative of a company editing an article, we urge them to limit themselves to comment son the talk page, to let uninvolved editors make the call. If an uninvolved editor wants to star an article on Noble Formula, and does a good job, it will remain.
 * 2) The article was not deleted because Noble Formula is a brand. It was deleted because it did not meet Wikipedia standards. It is entirely possible that an article can be written, but the one I saw was not close to acceptable.--  SPhilbrick  T  20:15, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
