Proposed deletion of Kadant


The article Kadant has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * All the sources are either primary or directories that simply confirm that the company exists. GNews hits are scarce. Doesn't seem to meet WP:CORP or even WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of EMCORE Corporation


A tag has been placed on EMCORE Corporation, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

Deletions
Hi. You will  have noticed by  now that  all  the articles created by  you  and your  China university  colleagues are in  course of deletion. Just creating  business entries from  stock  exchange lists is counter productive to  the encyclopedia and it  takes up  a lot  of volunteer time to  review and delete these unwanted articles. That said, we are not  wholly  convinced that  this is a genuine educational  project, but  you  and your friends must  start  communicating  with  us if you  wish  to  continue to contribute to  Wikipedia and avoid being eventually blocked for causing  us so much  work. Such blocks would  affect the entire IP  addresses of the universities concerned -  we want  to  avoid that. I'll just add that I am an admin and an online ambassador for education projects  and I'm in a position to help. Regards, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:00, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

How to do it and avoid deletions

 * I too am an admin who as worked with education projects,and very extensively with business articles. I have perhaps a little more sympathy with such articles than some of my colleagues.
 * The first step in making such an article is to find a sufficiently important company. There are probably thousands of sufficiently notable companies for which we do not have articles. One or two of the companies that were selected are in my opinion clearly notable, and some are at least borderline. As a rough guide, a company on the NYSE or the similar most important stock exchanges are likely to be notable; a company on NASDAQ is much less likely, but still possible. (I have insufficient experience to judge the significance of the list on exchanges outside Western Europe)
 * The second step is to look for references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.  Most announcements of financial results are not substantial references--the information can be used, but does not show notability, because even the least notable company has financial reports. Similarly with announcements about the appointment or replacement of officers, or of investments of capital. It helps very much if the company makes the sort of products that are likely to be reviewed in independent sources,but they need to be full published reviews, not mere product announcements. This is a great difficulty with many b-to-b companies, where such reviews are much less common--for such firms, it may be impossible to show notability by our own customary standards, even though they might be important by common sense.
 * The third step is to write the appropriate contents. We do not usually list executives beyond the CEO. We do not usually list minor philanthropies. List major but not minor awards. Nominations are not awards. List major products and say what they are, but not minor variations. For computer software, we indicate major but not minor revisions. We do not describe in detail routine functions of products. All banks offer much the same services, tho they may promote them by different names  & lay great emphasis for advertising purposes on the trivial differences.
 * Follow our style. For people we use their last name only unless there is ambiguity, except the first time they are mentioned when we give the full name and titles. For companies we use the full name only once unless there's ambiguity; after that use an abbreviated name of "the firm" or "the company"-- or "it". We link things only once, at the first mention. We do not use the trademark or registered patent or copyright symbols. We do not use full caps, even if the company does. Use colloquial English in phrases appropriate for the subject, but not business jargon. Companies have headquarters in a city, they are not headquartered . Avoid needless words, like originally founded. Use a spelling checker, and also check manually, slowly, and have someone else check also. Use the past tense for historical events, not the present tense. In 1999, they opened an office, not in 1991 they open Preferably write dates in the style appropriate for the country: for the US it's February 30, 2001. not 2/30/2001 . For most other countries it's 30 February 2001.  Avoid using tables except for numerical data. Avoid use bulleted points unless there's no clear alternative: WP is not Powerpoint.
 * Ask for help when needed. Use AfC if in doubt, because a incorrectly written article will just be sent back for changes there, not deleted. To avoid suspicions of being a paid editor, if you are in a class, say so on your user page. If by chance you are a paid editor or associated with the subject, say so on your user page and always write using AfC and talk pages, not mainspace.  DGG ( talk ) 22:47, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
