Speedy deletion nomination of Dry Erase Paint


A tag has been placed on Dry Erase Paint, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:26, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Lawrence,
 * I have removed the deletion tag from this article. I disagree with Hell in a Bucket that this article is blatantly promotional.  I think you've done a fair job of presenting a factual article about this topic.  Unfortunately, you have provided no sources.  All material at Wikipedia must be verifiable, which usually means that you have to provide a reliable source for the material you have written.  While many people think the "Wiki" in Wikipedia means "What I Know Is", that's not really how it works.  If someone has written a textbook or magazine article about dry erase paint, that would be a good source from which to draw information.  You clearly know quite a bit about the topic: there must be source materials from which you garnered this knowledge.  If you could reference them, it would be hugely helpful.  To learn how, read Help:Citing sources.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:44, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, sorry you felt you had to delete the article. I thought you had good information there, but just needed a source to back it up.  Some articles sit for years on Wikipedia without sources!  Yours could have waited a couple of days (or weeks) while you found sources.  I hope you bring it back when you've found them.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
