I tagged it for deletion since 1: it was unsourced. 2:it read like an advertisement. 3:it had very little context and 4:99.9% of new pages regarding sex toys and things of that nature are vandalism. If you disagree, I encourage you to re-add the information, WITH A SOURCE, and then, if the company is notable enough, the article will stay. -ReuvenkT C 00:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The best thing to do is to use one of Wikipedia's source templates (see here). If the best source you have is the company's website, you should include that. -ReuvenkT C 00:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To answer your question bluntly, yes. A seasoned wikipedia editor wouldn't give a second's thought to deleting this article, the way it stands now. I think that the next steps would be to add more text, maybe history of the company, something unique about it, etc. Also, see our notability guidelines. If the company doesn't fall within those guidelines (and I hate to say it, but it seems that it doesn't, the article WILL be deleted no matter what you do to improve it. -ReuvenkT C 00:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More specific guideline: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). -ReuvenkT C 00:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome! That kind of thing should be included in the article. That will also help show why the company is notable. Notability is the biggest barrier to inculsion in Wikipedia. I have to go now, but keep up the good work. You should be able to get help, if you want it, at the Help desk. Also, If you place {{helpme}} on your talk page, an editor will visit you there ASAP! (Helpers can find you at Wikipedians looking for help.)
You're very welcome and good luck. Its 3AM where I am, so I kinda need to sleep a bit. Let me know if you have any other questions, and do let me know how this turns out. -ReuvenkT C 01:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article looks MUCH MUCH MUCH better, and its nice to see that there's no deletion tag. Keep up the good work and feel free to contact me with any other questions. -ReuvenkT C 07:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
