Speedy deletion nomination of MET Laboratories, Inc.


A tag has been placed on MET Laboratories, Inc. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Jared Preston (talk) 19:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at MET Laboratories, Inc.
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from MET Laboratories, Inc., a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:26, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with MET Laboratories, Inc.. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:32, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Your article
I'm sorry you had a rather bruising encounter with Wikipedia there. What happened was that you put in a first version with only a single word. That was tagged for speedy deletion as an article with no content (of which we get an unfortunate number). The tagger was rather quick off the mark, but if you had read the notice, it offered you the possibility of putting hangon on the article, when you could have explained on the talk page that there was more coming. As it was, unfortunately, when you added the text of the article you removed the speedy-deletion template. A "bot", an automatic system, watches for removal of speedy tags, and automatically reverted your edit, twice, when you understandably gave up.

I'm sorry about all that, it was not a very friendly way to treat a new contributor. At least, a human being followed the bot and saw what had happened. As advice for the future: make sure you have enough in your first edit of a new article to make it reasonably clear that it is a serious contribution; and if a speedy-deletion template appears, don't remove it, add and explain on the talk page.

I see you have a copy of the article in your user space at User:JimmyMac1951/MET Laboratories, Inc.. I have not restored it because it could do with more references. I am not sure in its present state it meets our notability requirement, which needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject found it important enough to write substantial comment on? More detail at WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and the WP:FAQ/Organizations, and good general advice at WP:Your first article.

You can ask for comments on your draft, if you like, at WP:Requests for feedback. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:12, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
