Speedy deletion nomination of Sling 4


A tag has been placed on Sling 4, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 06:57, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

The Airplane Factory Sling Article
Hi RyanPat44, I am reviewing this article for inclusion in Wikipedia.

It so happens that I know about TAF and their Sling, and do consider it a worthy subject for an encyclopedia article. However, the article cannot appear to be advertising or marketing.

The opening paragraph definitely needs a rewrite to focus on why the Sling is notable.

There are a few other relatively minor issues, and the article overall perhaps needs a little tighter editing -

however, the overall approach is sound.

I am concerned that you do not provide sufficient independent references (fur purposes of substantiation, anything on the TAF website simply does not count). I know that several articles on the Sling, it's performance and development, and on the circumnavigation, appeared in aviation magazines: these are good sources which show independent notability. They need not necessarily be internet links, although I am sure you can find a couple from newspapers.

I want to suggest the following:

1) You find and add to the article a couple more independent, reliable sources to substantiate the notability of the Sling as an aircraft and or TAF as a company, and the circumnavigation. I am sure I can supply at least one.

The article is currently here

2) If you agree (and only if you agree), I will edit the article as needed to conform to Wikipedia guidelines. This will not involve substantial changes except to the opening paragraph. If you prefer, you can attempt it yourself, but that will take longer.

As soon as these two steps are adequately complete, I can accept the article for publication.

A picture or two would be nice in this type of article. If you need help with uploading a file just ask. Bear in mind the image filename must be unique, as it is stored in a large common image folder. ("Sling_2009Circumnavigation_Oshkosh1034.jpg" or some such). For a non-free image copyright permission MUST be obtained in writing; email is acceptable as writing but must be from the copyright holder.

I trust you will be pleased with this message. The sooner you come back to me here (edit this page to answer) the sooner we can go ahead.  David_FLXD  (Talk) 19:03, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi David,

Thank you! I see that you went ahead with some of the edits. That is much appreciated as I am very new to Wiki.

I'd like to add a couple pictures to the article but am unsure how to proceed.

Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

Please urgently update Sling Aircraft Sling 2 page
Hi RyanPat44. I am the Marketing Manager for The Airplane Factory, now known as Sling Aircraft. We have legally changed our company name as of 3 weeks ago.

Can you please assist with updating this page asap. You can email me at shanelle@slingaircraft.com and I will be happy to provide all the necessary information. Your assistance in this regard is highly appreciated. Shanellemc (talk) 10:39, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
