Speedy deletion nomination of Panther motorcycle
A tag has been placed on Panther motorcycle, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Panther motorcycle, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Cindamuse (talk) 18:18, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Your concerns about Panther motorcycle
Greetings, I noted on the Talk page of Panther motorcycle that you feel prior articles have been deleted for biased reasons. According to your talk page, and earlier version of Panther motorcycle was deleted for being "unambigous advertising". I have not seen said version, but advise that you consider making a draft of an article for the current, specific, North American "Panther", and then message an Admin and ask him to take a glance at it to make sure it is satisfactory and will not be deleted. Wikipedia admins will not knowingly allow a properly-made article about a company to be deleted by supporters of another company. If you feel this actually has happened, take it to WP:ANI.

 * I understand what you are trying to with with your article at Panther motorcycle and I want to help. The people who are complaining about the article aren't trying to annoy you, and they don't have anything personal about the North American Panther. The problem is that there just isn't enough publicly available information out there to write an article on. Think of a Wikipedia article like a college term paper. Just like in college, everything you write has to be backed up by sources, right? Same here, we need reliable sources that are independent of the subject. In the case of Panther, the only information I can find is from their own website; and we can't use that as a source, because it's not independent. Too many companies try to use Wikipedia as free advertising, and that's the primary reason that articles like this get deleted.
 * Now, if and when you can provide news coverage or reviews of the North American Panther, then we can have an article on it. But let's be honest here, according to their website the Panther hasn't even entered production yet. Perhaps it's just too soon to have an article here. But please don't take it personally if the article gets deleted. -- RoninBK T C 09:23, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
