Speedy deletion nomination of 3d proven systems


A tag has been placed on 3d proven systems 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 credibly 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Pyrusca (talk) 20:27, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Independent source
Hello. I saw your reply on the talk page, but didn't get a chance to reply before it was deleted. The use of independent sources for notability is a convention of Wikipedia (I don't know about other encyclopedias). Notability has a specific meaning in this case. Per WP:GNG, If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. That guideline explains what qualifies as "significant", etc. with many subjects having more specific guidelines. Notability (organizations and companies) applies to company, but in almost all cases, sources must still be independent.

This doesn't appear to apply to 3d proven systems, but as a practical matter, this principle often less restrictively applied to specific areas such as high schools, or small towns or other settlements. In theory that's more about giving the benefit of the doubt that such sources exist, not a true exemption. In practice, it's all about WP:CONSENSUS, which has determined that some topics are notable even with flimsy sources. Businesses are almost never given a pass on this, because it leads to using Wikipedia for advertising, which is a major problem that most editors have little patience for.

I hope that's helpful. Grayfell (talk) 22:50, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
