[edit] Cart32

A tag has been placed on Cart32, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall ^talk 15:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, I'll steer clear for now, Remember that you need to provide independent verifiable sources that Cart32 meets the notability guidelines, and is not advertising. It's a good idea to write most of the article offline and then paste it in, since admins can't tell if the stub is ever going to grow. Jimfbleak.talk.16:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I've made a couple of minor changes, eg "domestic" is meaningless on a global encyclopaedia. The speedy tag has been removed from the article by another editor, since it now asserts notability, but in fact I think that the second and third paras read very much like an advert, and it could be speedied on that basis instead (I know it's referenced, but the ref itself is spammy, coming as it does from the producing company). However, it's clearly possible to rephrase in a more neutral way, so I'll leave it for now and await developments. Jimfbleak 06:04, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
