A tag has been placed on Available Locksmith Inc 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 company or corporation, 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.

Deforestblythe (talk) 09:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC) This page is regarding a very well know US company. This is not a page advertsiing the company nor does it use promotional words yet it is suggested for deletion.[reply]

Improving Available Locksmith Inc[edit]

I will personally ensure text is changed or even deleted if need to properly comply with Wikipedia's content rules.

Can anyone please give me guidance as to what to do to the page to ensure it does not get deleted.

Many thanks fellow wiki'ers :-)Deforestblythe (talk) 09:58, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, with all due pleasure!

First of, the page is indeed not advertising. It is in that right one of the better company articles i have seen today. However the main problem with this page is not that it is advertising, but instead it does not signify why the company should be on wikipedia. that is, why it is notable enough to warrant an article.

While this might seen strange to you (I assume you know/work or own the company. In that case make sure to read WP:COI) don't forget that there are literally millions of companies; If we don't draw a line between what is encyclopedic and what is not we would have several millions of articles that would not fit into an encyclopedia. How this affects you? There is a guideline for includion of pages, specifially The notability guidelines (Or the More specific one for companies. In short these guidelines state that in order to be included a company must have received non trivial coverage in sufficiently large reliable third party sources. For example: Microsoft has been covered on many websites, newspapers and tech magazines. Smaller companies such as Primavera Systems received substantional coverage in a reliable third party market studies.

Also keep in mind that people who read about your company on Wikipedia likely never even heard of it. Just give the structure of the article some thought: There is a four line introduction as to what the company is, before setting off on company locations, services and transponder chip keys;. An encyclopedic article should be a description of the company, not a listing about products, services et all.

Last: Are transponder chip keys a product specific to your company? If not you might want to leave the description out to avoid changing the scope of the article. After all you also would not want to describe what a locksmith or a key is. Thats what the locksmith and key articles are for! :) Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 10:20, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
