Proposed deletion of Smiths Detection


The article Smiths Detection has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Division of Smiths Group, which has it's own entry. I don't think this division is notable enough for it's own entry.

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.

Proposed deletion of Smiths Detection argument
What would be notable enough for its own entry then? I imagine a half-billion operating income and 2100 employees would be notable enough. There are many Wikipedia pages that are divisions of large corporations but still have their own page. Could you suggest maybe some additions to the article in order to improve notability? Thanks.

 * As the person who proposed it for deletion and as someone with experience creating entries, here is what I did and didn't see. First, you have one source and it is an internal document.  Notability, from my experience, usually comes with news coverage of that company.  I didn't see you post any news sources, any magazines (even industry magazines), or anything besides that one PDF from the company.  Second, you didn't add any categories to connect it to similar companies and organizations.  Third, the parent organization, Smiths Group, has its own entry where this content should probably be added.  Fourth, this isn't much more than a list of management biographies (all unsourced indicating these people aren't notable).  If you can address these issues and justify why it shouldn't be merged with the Smiths Group entry, I am willing to drop the deletion.  Until then, please don't remove the tag from the entry.  Your user account indicates you have limited experience with editing, yet your first contribution is to create this entry.  I highly encourage you to gain experience editing before creating an entry.  You seem to be struggling with some of Wikipedia's core policies like verifiability and notability.   Last, Are you connected to Smiths Detection in some capacity? --LibraryGurl (talk) 14:20, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for replying, I shall follow through with your suggestions. I am an aviation industry contributor and that is about all the connection I have with them. I will come back with an edited version to satisfy Wikipedia's core policies. Dantabaran (talk) 14:40, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
