Speedy deletion nomination of Kern precision scales

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kern precision scales 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 this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 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. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 03:47, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New draft of Kern Precision Scales

I have looked at User:James nester/Kern Precision Scales, and I certainly think it gives enough of a claim of significance to avoid speedy deletion as an article "which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject", which is the reason it was deleted before. The article does look a little promotional in tone to me, but not enough to justify speedy deletion as spam, and i can't see any other speedy deletion criteria which could possibly apply, so it should be safe from speedy deletion. This does not prevent someone from nominating it for an articles for deletion discussion, but if that happens you will have a chance to argue your case for keeping it.

James, thanks a lot, appreciate that. I will look at the tone. I'm not familiar with the process - do I just now put the article back myself? James nester (talk) 19:01, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can click on the "move" link at the top of the page, and in the box labelled "To new title" replace "User:James nester/Kern Precision Scales". Then the page will automatically be moved for you. If you can't see the "move" link then try pointing your mouse at the downward pointing triangle at the right hand end of the row of links. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:08, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
