[edit] Notability of Woodland stewards

A tag has been placed on Woodland stewards, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Oli Filth 00:44, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your {{holdon}} request for this article, if it is too new for there to be secondary sources, then it likely cannot meet Wikipedia's policies on reliable sources, which are required to establish notability. I would recommend waiting until this company has established itself, and gained those reliable sources. Regards, Resolute 04:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

With regards to the message you left on my talk page, WP:CORP would seem to be the most accurate guideline for establishing notability. Basically, Woodlands Stewards would have to have been written about in reliable sources independent of the company itself. Regards, Resolute 04:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
