Speedy deletion nomination of Seattle Publishing
A tag has been placed on Seattle Publishing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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.  Lagrange Calvert &lt;Talk / Contribs&gt;  18:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I saw your note on Talk:Seattle Publishing regarding the deletion. Unfortunately, the article did not seem to have any content which made it seem likely that it would meet Wikipedia's notability guideline for corporations, WP:CORP.  As such, I went ahead with the deletion.  Let me know if I have made a mistake here, or if you have any other questions or concerns.  Best wishes, --TeaDrinker (talk) 13:17, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note. I agree that your references go a long way to establishing notability of the company.  I was about to recreate the article when I noticed that sections of it seemed to have been taken from the Seattle Publishing website, which would be a violation of both their copyright and our conflict of interest policy.  If you think you can weed these issues out, I would be happy to recreate the article.  Let me know what you think and thanks again for contacting me about this article.  --TeaDrinker (talk) 16:09, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
