Speedy deletion nomination of INGCO International


A tag has been placed on INGCO International, 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. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:37, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article, both because of promotionalism and no indication of encyclopedic importance. I appreciate your efforts to clean up the article, andI want to explain to you what is necessary.

First of all, a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. The material you cited was essentially press release-based material to very minor awards given to the head of the company. Consensus has been that such awards at a local level do not indicate significance. What we need are several articles published truly independently that talks in a substantial way about the company  If you have such sources, it may be possible to rewrite the article; otherwise,  it will not be possible to write an acceptable article. I recognize that for businesses such as yours are in fields that do not attract very much public attention this is difficult, and, as you mention a number of other companies have articles that probably don't warrant it either. I had a look at them; I've listed a few for deletion.

The size is not necessarily meaning in this field, as I believe most of staff are not full time, but revenue is an straightforward parameter. The reference many of the articles use is Common Sense Advisory, which is not normally available in libraries. But they have a free excerpt from the 2010 report at http://www.commonsenseadvisory.com/AbstractView.aspx?ArticleID=1160.pdf of the top 35 in 2010. (INGCO is not on it.) A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't repeat content, don't use buzz-words like global-- Don't include material that would better belong in an advertisement or a web page, such as a detailed list of executives or branch offices.. Don't link unnecessarily to WP articles on common concepts, like "translation" or of executives. Don't list minor memberships in local associations. I realize this leaves you relatively little to write about--and that's really the same problem as in the previous paragraph.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective clients--that sort of content is considered promotional.
