Speedy deletion nomination of User:WoodKiller/M&M Tool and Machinery

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 User:WoodKiller/M&M Tool and Machinery, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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. ArcAngel (talk) ) 03:30, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have declined the speedy deletion nomination, as this would appear to be a draft in user space. However you need to improve the article - at the moment, it is not suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia, and if you have not sufficiently improved it soon, it can be put up for deletion at Miscellany for deletion.

You need to demonstrate clearly that the company meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion (and especially the criteria for businesses). This involves having references at reliable sources which are independent - company websites and press releases (i.e. PRWEB.com) do not count as independent. Ideal sources are national newspapers (on the order of the New York Times, the London Times, etc) which have had significant coverage of the company (again, not press releases, or based purely on press releases, or consisting primarily of quotes from company personnel) - not minor mentions (e.g. in a list of similar companies, or a single short sentence) or "routine news" such as announcements of personnel, profits, etc (these can be used alongside significant coverage, but not on their own).

I have set up User:WoodKiller/M&M Tool and Machinery so that it is not indexed by search engines - if it is moved to article space, that will be changed so that Google, Bing, etc will "find" it.
