Talk:Icelantic
You can't have a talkpage without an article, so I re-deleted it.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:16, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! Why was our article deleted again? If Armada has a page, I'd like to think we deserve one. We are original and pioneering in the ski industry. Chris.blackett (talk) 19:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
 * It was deleted for not asserting notability. It's not good enough to be original and pioneering -- you have to have someone independent publicly point out that you're original and pioneering. Otherwise, we'd have articles for the newsstand down the street that closed 20 years ago because nobody actually shopped there. :-) You could work on the article in a user subpage, like User:Chris.blackett/Icelantic, and ask for second opinions about it before moving it into mainspace again. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:56, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Basically, I work for Icelantic Skis and we have asked our fans to create a Wikipedia page for us…it looks like someone added a lot of content but only included our website as a reference? Can you undelete our page so people can edit/add content for us? I am new to Wikipedia, my username is chris.blackett, if you need that. [via e-mail]
 * Getting and  to write the article for you is only fractionally better than writing it yourself. I suggest that all of you wait until someone with genuinely no COI comes along and writes about the company. If you can produce reliable references, you could raise the matter at deletion review. &mdash; RHaworth  00:52, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
