Speedy deletion nomination of Mandalah


A tag has been placed on Mandalah 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 an organization or company, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. TheLongTone (talk) 10:53, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

// I inserted the reasons why I believe the Mandalah article should not be deleted!

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... ...the article I created indeed is about a company, however, I still think it must not be deleted as Mandalah has a different approach to consumerism and innovation. Sustainability and consciousness is a rising issue in our generation and should be stressed on whenever possible. I truly believe that Mandalah should be included in the Wikipedia Encyclopedia as it contributes to a society that propels humanity. I do not believe that the article I wrote has an advertising agenda, however, it gives people an idea of how new developments (in society, technology, etc.) can be used to create a healthy and sustainable future. People should be provided with information that show them that development and consciousness is not a contradiction and the article about Mandalah does that. It introduces people to the concept of sustainability in business. Further, I want to point out that I wrote with a neutral point of view and without bias. I also included independent sources. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you reconsidered your intention on deleting my article.
