Speedy deletion nomination of Lincoln shotguns

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 Lincoln shotguns, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lincoln shotguns

Hello Ve1wab,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lincoln shotguns for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Dschslava^Δxparlez moi 06:08, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lincoln Shotguns (July 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Worldbruce was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The draft has potential, but needs better sources. De-emphasize as sources the firm that makes the product, and companies that sell it. Look for independent reviews in reputable publications, such as Shooting Times & Country Magazine: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Gun Mart magazine may be reliable (you can ask for an opinion at WP:RSN), but a magazine like the 150-year-old The Field would be more convincing. Try for reviews from at least three different publishers. Categories Category:Hunting and fishing magazines and Category:Firearms magazines may suggest places to look. Also search by the company name, and perhaps in the business press. See if results like [6] might be useful. The main reason to cite the reviews is to demonstrate notability. The details the reviews contain about each model are less useful, because the draft shouldn't list every model or go into great detail about any model (the way the draft mentions only the first model and it's basic characteristics is perfect). The focus of the draft should be the history of the brand, and the reviews may contain tidbits about that. The draft might also mention where the Lincoln line fits relative to other brands (Verona?) from F.A.I.R., and into what general classes Lincoln shotguns fall. One final note regarding referencing, move the <ref>details of reference</ref> tags from the references section to immediately after the statement they support. See Help:Referencing for beginners for more information.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Lincoln Shotguns and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Lincoln Shotguns (July 10)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dodger67 was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Do not limit your search for sources only to Google. The previous reviewer gave you good advice to look for magazine articles. There's a huge amount of information in the world that is not on the internet, so a visit to a library with a good magazine collection may be productive.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
