Speedy deletion of Polkaspots

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Response to you message on my talkpage
Hi Bob,

I did not delete Polkadots - I do not have the power to do that as I am not an administrator. What I did was nominate it for speedy deletion as I did not believe the company met Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Writing about companies is fine, but there has to be a justification for their inclusion in an encyclopaedia. For further information about what material is notable, please refer to Notability, which should help you write articles in the future.

I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions, get back to me on my talkpage -- Fritzpoll (talk) 12:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
