Speedy deletion nomination of Asterope Audio Cables


A tag has been placed on Asterope Audio Cables 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Help request
Hey guys,

I recently posted my first page and it was taken down shortly after. It was accidentally posted prematurely--there were definitely things wrong with it--but I was wondering if there is anything specific I can do to improve it (i.e. ensuring it's not an orphan, adding or deleting content, changing some of the language, all of the above, etc.). Asterope Audio Cables is the page I'm referencing. I feel like it's a worthy topic if executed properly. Let me know if there's anything I can do to better format it within Wiki guidelines and hopefully get it back up. Thanks in advance for the help.

 * There were two basic issues that saw the page deleted: A shortage of reliable sources that were independent of the company, necessary both to allow our readers to verify the content and to establish that the company is notable enough for an article in the first place), and an unduly promotional tone. A sentence such as "Acknowledging the ability of music to impact lives, Asterope aims to inspire and make possible great music production and listening experiences" simply has no place in an encyclopedia. It sounds like something straight from the company's PR department - not surprisingly, since that's precisely what it is. Entire sections were regurgiated press releases. You had some third-party coverage, but the focus of the draft clearly was elsewhere. Huon (talk) 00:28, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
