Speedy deletion nomination of Jersey Jack Pinball


A tag has been placed on Jersey Jack Pinball 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Singularity42 (talk) 16:48, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted because... --Mnpinball (talk) 17:04, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

This is a new USA based pinball company entering the field with production starting Dec 2011. The only other pinball manufacturer is Stern Pinball and they have a page on wikipedia.

3 resources and links are listed in the page for fact and proof.

All statements are fact and this page is a work in progress with much more to add as time permits.


 * No one is disputing the company's existence. The issue is whether it meets Wikipedia's defintion of WP:Notability, which for companies can be found at WP:COMPANY.  Generally, are there multiple, independent, reliable sources cover it in a non-trivial way.  Given that the company only just came into existence, the odds are the answer is "not yet".

 * I think you're about six months early: if and when new games are released, I would expect the company to be covered in multiple sources, which can then be used top establish notability and to provide verifiability.  Acroterion   (talk)   17:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
