Speedy deletion nomination of Gorilla Skateboards


A tag has been placed on Gorilla Skateboards 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. red dog six (talk) 03:39, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Notability and self-promotion
I deleted the page because ultimately there is nothing there that showed that your business passes Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Please understand- no matter how many good things you might have done, you have to pass WP:CORP. What concerned me as well was that you gave out store information such as the phone number, which we see as promotional on Wikipedia. Self-promotion is not tolerated on Wikipedia, no matter what your intent may be. I did perform a search for the company, but I don't see where it passes our guidelines, which are strict but are as such out of necessity. This doesn't mean that your company isn't successful or doesn't do nice things, just that you don't pass notability guidelines. (WP:RS, WP:COI) Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   08:43, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
