You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Systems for Dentists - SFD 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:30, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

[edit]

I'm not sure what the disputed title thing was about, but the article was deleted because the notability of the company was not shown. Please see WP:CORP and WP:RS about reliable independent sources. Company registration is no use as a reference (unless someone tries to show the article is a hoax...) as it merely shows existence. Company sites are not independent (and in many cases aren't reliable either...). Wikipedia isn't a directory, and not all companies get in. Peridon (talk) 18:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted article userfied

[edit]

You asked me to email you a copy of Systems for Dentists - SFD. I could do that, but it seemed a little simpler to restore the article and "userfy" it, i.e. move it into your userspace to work on. I have moved it to User:Reallyethical/Systems for Dentists - SFD. Userfication is a temporary measure, to allow the article to be worked on until it is ready, not a long term way of keeping a page that would otherwise be deleted. The guidelines that Peridon has linked to above can be useful for understanding what is required to show notability, but I suggest looking at Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations, which is not an "official" Wikipedia guideline, but rather a page put together by a number of Wikipedfia editors to help people in the sort of situation that you are in. I think it does a good job of covering the main points. I do strongly advise you to make sure you have a reasonable idea of what is required to establish notability by Wikipedia's standards. If a subject does not satisfy the notability guidelines then any work put into improving an article about the subject is likely to be a waste of time and effort, as the article is likely to be deleted. That may sound like an unfriendly thing to say, but in fact I am saying it to help you. Over the years I have time and time again seen people come to Wikipedia to write an article, see it deleted, work on improving it, see it deleted again, and so on. I can imagine, as no doubt you can, how frustrating that is, and I am trying to help you avoid the same fate. If you can provide suitable sources that show notability then there will be no reason why there should not be an article about the company, but if not then, as I have tried to indicate, you would probably be better advised not to spend time and effort on it. Finally, I think it only fair to let you know that I have done some searching for information about "Systems for Dentists", and my impression is that it does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria.
