Speedy Deletion clarification
Can you please clarify why a translated article System_32_(furniture) from the German Wikipedia is tagged for speedy deletion? I believe I followed the procedures for translating and marking it as such correctly. What did I miss? Also, I was unable to find any button labeled "Contest this speedy deletion"; can you clarify where this appears, because following your directions I do not see it. And I'd like to assure you this is not spam. I believe that this is actually an international standard, and am trying to locate said standard. I have corresponded with the cabinetmaker who posted the statement of having read the international standard, and he spent several hours trying to locate the documents from 1946, but was unable to, though I'm pretty good at sleuthing these things out.

 * Hi Peter, I removed the speedy deletion tag a minute after I originally placed on the article. Sorry for any aggravation. When I first read the article, it appeared as though the article made no claims of notability and the provided references only served to promote the idea of the system's existence and advantages. Thank you for your efforts - it's always good to see editors translating content from the German WP as there's so much great material there. JHCaufield - talk - 22:50, 7 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry about not seeing the note about changing mind! Can you please look at the current state of references, including the three books I listed in the bibliography, and tell me if that changes your mind on notability? In reading "General notability guideline", it gives the example of one book-length history as being non-trivial coverage. Also, parts of this system are used by IKEA furniture, so just in the U.S. there is wide exposure to it, not even counting other European furniture imports. How do those affect your view of notability? Peter K. Sheerin 01:25, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
