A tag has been placed on Walker Exhaust, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Press release from Tessco Automotive

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Improbcat 14:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

You recent entries
I noticed you have recently started entires with what appear to be press releases from Tessco Automotive. Wikipedia can not accept copyrighted content from other sources, and as such these entries are not appropriate to inclusion in Wikipedia. Furthermore the advertising tone of these entries is also not appropriate to the encyclopedic tone strove for in wikipedia.

Also I noticed that your username is similar to the Monroe brand. If you are in any way officially affiliated with Monroe, or Tessco Automotive, there is a serious Conflict of interest issue there. PLease read that link before making any further edits. Improbcat 14:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

helpme Entry Help
Hello! I currently work for at Tenneco. I recently tried to create an entry with the basic information from a press release. This seemed to be a problem due to copyright issues, which I completely understand. However, I was given instructions to post this information. After doing a lot of research on Wikipedia, I realized Press Releases are actually frowned upon. I respect this, and thus would like to request this topic. I have been following instructions however I am unsure where it is leading me to. In order to request a topic, I had to make sure this article has not already been written, which it hasn't. Then something about stubs comes up (I am still unclear about the whole stub business). Still, I think I found the category for this entry: Automobiles:Automotive Technologies: Auto parts: Auto Parts Suppliers: SEMA or Automobiles:Automotive Technologies: Auto parts: Auto Parts Suppliers: Tenneco.

I realize that because I work for Tenneco me writing the entry will be frowned upon as well. Again, I respect and understand these policies. However, I would not mind working with editors (in a neutral state) on this topic.

If someone could please help me understand and get through all of these links, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you, Moremonroe 19:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello. A stub is an article too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject. All articles, including stubs, need need to be about notable subjects. If Monroe Shocks and Struts and Walker Exhaust are notable according to that guideline, you can discuss the articles at the drawing board or leave a request that articles be created at requested articles.
