Speedy deletion nomination of Auralex
A tag has been placed on Auralex 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), 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  ttonyb (talk) 20:12, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Auralex
Hey. I've looked at the deleted revisions and I can see why your article was deleted. If the deletion summary was confusing, it was because it met this speedy deletion criterion—that is, it did not contain an indication of why the subject of the article might be notable. While you are right that this is a legitimate business, our articles must be more than accurate, they must cover notable subjects.

The sources you used in the article were as follows:
 * Radio Magazine — This seems, to me, to be a source of dubious reliability. Based on the About us page, I infer that this website contains user-generated content. This is supported by lack of a byline on the article you cited. User-generated content does not confer notability, so this source is not useful.


 * Trademarkia — This also appears to me to be user-submitted content, though I cannot confirm that. If it is not, however, it still will not indicate notability, because it seems to be a directory of trademark listings, which is not significant, third-party coverage required by our notability policy.


 * Indiana SoS — I cannot access the page, so I cannot consider it. But I imagine that the pages contain legal records of the company; these are also directory-style information that will not grant notability.


 * AudioJunkies — This also appears to be user-generated.

So you see, we need some better indication of notability for the page to stand. Do you have any other sources like these but from reliable sources as outlined here?
