This is the second time I have written this page!!! As I stated previously, this is a work in progress. I have a full time job and am doing this out of the goodness of my heard and in my spare time, so I would appreciate some consideration of these facts. I have been a contributor to Wiki for some years and do not appreciate the deletion of my works in mid-stream!!!!!!! If you have any doubt about the format and content of this page please see the page for Mooney Aircraft Company, which has served as a template. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrWhatIKnow (talk • contribs)

Proposal for Speedy Deletion[edit]

Article has been previously deleted as per criteria A7 : Non-notable company, a user placed the article for speedy again when the article was recreated, and tag was removed and replaced by the hold-on tag. I send the article to speedy again because it is non-notable. --Deenoe 15:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This recreated article is identical to the previous version that was deleted as non-notable. I think once this gets deleted again that the editor who keeps recreating it ought to stop doing that and work on it in user space until he has actually established notability as per WP:N. - Ahunt (talk) 15:31, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am working it on line as and will be making changes here. I have not used user space previously, but suggest you review my other contributions and do not delete this prematurely. This is a work in progress and as a balloonist I can tell you that this is significant information and needs to be presented as there are many differences between the balloons of various manufacturers!

Then you need to provide independent third party refs as per WP:V that established notability, otherwise it will be deleted once again. - Ahunt (talk) 15:38, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am in the process of doing that —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrWhatIKnow (talk • contribs) 15:48, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This page is a work in progress, detailing the history of ballooning and significant manufacturers in the field. Many articles exist on ballooning in general, however there are few, if any, articles detailing individual manufacturers. That is the reason for this articles existence.

Please don't removed the WP:CSD tags from the article, as it explains "The creator of a page may not remove a Speedy Delete tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so." In this case, since this article has been CSDed before, I would suggest that we wait until an admin reviews the article and either removes the tags or deletes it. - Ahunt (talk) 21:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay an admin, User:Nyttend, has reviewed the article and removed the tags, so we can get on with improving the article! - Ahunt (talk) 22:20, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
