Speedy deletion nomination of Oster Kitchen Center
A tag has been placed on Oster Kitchen Center 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  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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- mitchsurp -- (talk) 03:01, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

What do I need to do to make this a legitimate page?

I created this page because I wanted to know some basic information about Oster Kitchen Centers (how many years they were made, were they a reputable brand, what sort of features were included, and how did the design evolve over the years), but had trouble finding information on the web because the product is no longer manufactured and the brand disappeared for awhile. I thought Wikipedia was a place to assemble this kind of information.

Mostly, I would like to make this page as a historical record. I could see my cousins being interested in reading about the food processor our Grandma always used.

Thanks for the help. Andy McBurney (talk) 22:44, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * For something to have an article on Wikipedia, it needs to be notable, and the notability needs to be proven. Please read WP:Your first article and WP:Notability. After reading them, if you still feel as though your article has a place on Wikipedia, please use the article wizard. -- Patchy1   23:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
