Speedy deletion nomination of Auvergnat cola


A tag has been placed on Auvergnat cola, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, 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. (See section A7 of 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 your 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. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:42, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

References?
Hi Laurene-Thomas: I note that Auvergnat cola was previously deleted. I am trying to save the new version (now moved to Auvergnat Cola) by making it clearer and adding links, but the one reference in the French Wikipedia article is a broken link; the archiving appears not to have worked. If you see this, could you please look for references that can be added to the article, such as newspaper articles? Articles that do not have a few references are almost always deleted on English Wikipedia on grounds of non-notability, and you undoubtedly can find more sources than I can. Print material that is not online is fine, although obviously online archives of newspapers are preferable because then others can see them. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:53, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
