The article Liew Kin Choong Enterprise Sdn. Bhd. has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:44, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers are perfectly good sources, although I would be surprised if any newspaper today did not have a website you could link to. As far as the Liew Kin article, even a beginning article has to assert why its subject is notable (see WP:CORP) -- Wikipedia is not a directory of all businesses.

Articles in print sources, including periodicals (particularly notable ones), are perfectly acceptable sources to cite in writing an article. If you can also provide a link to an online version of the source article, that's wonderful but not mandatory. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:44, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
