Speedy deletion nomination of ELKO AS
A tag has been placed on ELKO AS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of ELKO AS and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 14:23, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Your hangon rationale
You wrote, Aren't we allowed to exist on Wikipedia as a company?.

I have a major problem with this kind of argument, especially with the term "we," because it implies that the article was written or commissioned by someone who has a connection with the company. Please bear in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, therefore all of its content must look as if it were written by people who are at least two steps removed from the subject. Wikipedia has guidelines on conflict of interest, and although writing an article on your own company is not forbidden, it is discouraged. Better wait for someone uninvolved to start the article.

But to answer your question, please read our inclusion guidelines for corporations to determine whether or not your company is worth mentioning in a separate article. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 15:01, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Point taken. But the matter remains the same. I wish to write on Wikipedia that there is company named ELKO AS in Scandinavia. The information is short and to the point. There are numerous examples of these types of articles on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deli_de_Luca or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekornes.
