Speedy deletion of Batteries Included (company)

A tag has been placed on Batteries Included (company) 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 or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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. -- ALLSTARecho 19:02, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

The stub I deleted was so full of peacock words that the actual assertion of notability sort of became lost. If you recreate it, with some references and so forth, I assure you I will not be so swift with the delete key. (And no, I never did much with the C-64, although there's one gathering dust upstairs somewhere, I think; my first serious computing was with CP/M on a Kaypro X.) Since 1985, of course, my house is Mac-only. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:22, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

You won't be so quick on the draw, but someone else might be, and then it will get locked down. I don't profess to be an expert on this subject but I was very surprised to see nothing about this company on Wikipedia. In the 80s, if there was a CBM or Commodore 64 computer in your lab or library, chances are you had Batteries Included software. I'm done trying to contribute for the day. Lexor1969 (talk)
