Speedy deletion nomination of Malmo Nordic Dining
A tag has been placed on Malmo Nordic Dining 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 an organization or company, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. 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), 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 admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ~YellowFives 13:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Status and Advice
as reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. You said on its talk page "This article is about an initiative supported by the Swedish and Danish governments to introduce Scandinavian and Nordic Foods on the UK market through inspiration, information and exciting products from the regions best small and medium sized producers in their field. The articles, when finished, will explain not only about Malmo Nordic Dining but also its part in the initiative: Sweden - The New Food Country founded by Sweden's current Minister of Agriculture Eskil Erlandson."

However, the company itself that you are talking about must be notable, and there is no indication whatsoever that it might be. You need to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases  You also need to write like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise it, say what it does. See further WP:BFAQ.

As for the initiative., that might possibly be notable. Try writing an article about it. It is much more likely to be acceptable if it does not mention any specific company.  DGG ( talk ) 14:38, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
