Speedy deletion nomination of Holbay Engineering


A tag has been placed on Holbay Engineering 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 a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:38, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Survival
I've declined the speedy on the grounds that notability is asserted. (Translated, that means the article does say that there's something important here...) I've added an 'unreferenced' tag - I'd advise looking at WP:RS and adding one or two independent reliable sources. Magazines will do, or reliable (not blog or forum) sites. Holbay rings a bell, although I've never been a Rootes fan. If they go for 'prod' or AfD, that gives a week to play with it. Peridon (talk) 20:12, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Island Roamer, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, Holbay Engineering, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

 * 3) save the page

It helps to explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the Help Desk. Thanks again for contributing! JamesBWatson (talk) 12:02, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
