Speedy deletion nomination of SteelMaster Buildings

A tag has been placed on SteelMaster Buildings, 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 as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. mhking (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On a planet of six billion people and growing, we cannot make space for articles on every single business on the planet; so we have to establish standards for inclusion. SteelMaster fails to meet those standards (unlike, say, Apple Inc. or Johnson Controls). That is no reflection on SteelMaster, or on you. We welcome your knowledge in this industry; but we are a tertiary reference work, accumulating material from secondary reliable sources, not directly from experts writing based on their own experience. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:44, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
