Hi there, Joshuaabrams. Glad you're here. However, if the only reason you are here is to promote your own company through an article about your grandfather, Morris Abrams, then I would ask that you please read through the conflict of interest section of our guidelines, as well as the neutral point of view guideline. It is very possible that someone will come along very soon and delete the article you just created. If you have any questions about Wikipedia and how to edit or create a good, encyclopedic article, just click on the 76 in my signature or any of the links above! Thanks.

A tag has been placed on Arrow Fastener, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Greswik (talk) 21:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Not a speedy--it is fixable, but it must have some references to published articles about the company. DGG (talk) 03:40, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Morris Abrams
A tag has been placed on Morris Abrams 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 or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * The tag was removed, but the article is still very susceptible to deletion without improvements as detailed above.  Keeper   |   76  01:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Worked on Morris Abrams
Because of his patents and a couple of other articles related to his company's history, I think I've established Morris Abrams as notable, at least w.r.t. the company he created. 72.244.200.86 (talk) 03:04, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
