Speedy deletion nomination of O'Brien Timber Floors


A tag has been placed on O'Brien Timber Floors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. JamesG5 (talk) 20:45, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Sam, I saw your talk comments "This is a legitimate encyclopedia entry about a popular flooring business that I am currently writing about, I will be adding media sources in the very near future. Please let me know what is wrong with this page and how I can improve it, as when I researched I cannot see it being any different to similar business entries except for media links." but the page has already been removed. Generally speaking "business listings" aren't acceptable, Wikipedia articles are supposed to be about what's NOTABLE.  See WP:GNG and WP:NOTABILITY.  Some times other articles sneak thru, but that doesn't mean it's OK.  Generally to meet those criteria you need to be able to cite multiple 3rd party sources that show notability for the company.  In terms of "adding media sources in the future," Wikipedia is generally not terribly friendly to that.  If you need time to build a page, you should create the page in the user draft space and complete it before you move it to the main section of the site, or better yet if it's a first article consider using the Articles for Creation system where experienced editors can help out.  Hope this helps! JamesG5 (talk) 21:18, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello thanks for your help, can I create pages like these? Or are they wrong? Kind regards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feltex_Carpets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godfrey_Hirst_Carpets
 * Honestly I find both of those pages pretty questionable. If the "largest" claims on the one article are legit, it might qualify but it needs more sourcing.  IMO the other article should just be a sub heading on the main page.  But that's not solely up to me, it would have to be submitted for consensus.  However, they are both complete articles with at least one 3rd party source to some claim of notability.  Your article was not a complete piece.  Try the draft process or AfC I linked above so you have something finalized to submit, and it'll stand a better chance.  At least then if a reviewing editor finds if questionable it'll go to Articles for Deletion for multiple editor review and discussion, instead of just a deletion.
 * BTW, when you comment on any talk page after our comment you want to put in four tildes like this ~ to automatically sign your comment. Also, putting a : before your comment indents it, and it's a multiplier.  So 2 : is 2 indents.  Signing & indenting helps make comment threads easier to read & follow.
 * Also when you have general questions or need help you can ask at the WP:TEAHOUSE. JamesG5 (talk) 21:30, 15 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Ok thanks for your help, this is all new to me, I will do as you suggest and come back to it. Will these instructions all stay in place?
 * Yes, this is all on your Talk page, this will stay here unless you decide to delete it. And always happy to help a new editor learn.  :-)  One thing, when you put up the tildes to sign don't use the nowiki code, that STOPS it from being a signature.  You use that when you want to show someone what a piece of code looks like without actually making it happen.  For instance if I were to say "the way you make something appear in BOLD is to type BOLD ".  So at the end of your comments just type them.  I fixed it for you above.
