Speedy deletion of Remy Corporation
A tag has been placed on Remy Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 the Business' FAQ for more information.

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), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.  SISTER   23:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I do not believe this is advertising. It references a company that has been around for a decade...
 * I didn't see the page before it got deleted, but I would suggest looking at our reliable source policy. Did the article cite any reliable sources? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I just took a look at the deleted text, and it reads almost like a sales brochure. Wikipedia tries to aim for a neutral point of view in all of our articles, to ensure readers can get clear and unbiased information. Your article does look like it had some decent information, and with some more reliable sources, may have met our notability standards, but phrases like "The Remy team brings almost 200 years of combined experience" and "Through the company network and low cost structure Remy can provide high quality resources in a cost-effective manner" make it sound as though you're trying to sell your services through Wikipedia, which isn't what we're for. If you'd like, I can provide you a copy of the article on a user subpage so you can work on it and get some help from other editors. Reading through some of the policies I've linked to may help out as well. If you have any more questions, or you'd like the article restored, please put the helpme tag back up and we'll be right with you. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 23:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, looking at the deleted article text, it was rightly deleted as advertising. It was not neutral, nor encyclopaedic.  Please also read our guide to company articles at WP:BFAQ, and also our guidelines on conflict of interest. --Stephen 23:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks – please do provide a copy of the article on a user subpage. I will do my best to ensure it is in a neutral and encyclopaedic form.

Would it be possible to assist in setting up a user subpage, and I can give this a go in a neutral tone, and following the other four pillars?
 * Ask Hersfold or another admin to move the page into your userspace for you. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 16:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

I have recreated the page at User:Samenus/Remy Corporation. Please ask for any assistance in creating an encyclopedic article from this content, which may or may not be possible. Although it was NOT deleted because of lack of notability, please try to make sure you establish notability in rewriting the article. Just because a company exists does not mean it merits a page in the encyclopedia. You can use this link as one source to look for reliable sources which establish notability; note that just because the company appears in that search doesn't mean the articles establish notability. For example, because Remy Corporation selected Oracle over SAP doesn't make Remy notable in any way; several of the hits on the first page mention that selection.

Once again, let me know if I can be of any assistance, and there are other editors above who appear willing and able to help as well. Frank |  talk  17:13, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
