Speedy deletion of Generation2
[edit]A tag has been placed on Generation2, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ 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 (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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Triwbe (talk) 19:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I have no opinion on the whether there should or shouldn't be a Generation2 article at this time, but your rewrite of the Hanwei article was clearly inappropriate. Please don't take over existing articles by overwriting them with completely different subjects. --Onorem♠Dil 19:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Generation2
[edit]I have tried to make the Generation2 (Sword Replica) not advertising. It is no more advertising than the Hanwei, or Albion or Arms and Armor pages. I looked. In factt he Hanwei is for the Hanwei Shop a retiler of Hanwei products Please look into this. Generation2 is a well known historical sword maker and I feel they need to be in the sword manufacturing section right along with these listed above.
Since the death of Hank Reinhardt Generation2 is still making swords as he wanted and this is an article that will be History.
I ask to to reconsider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClydeHollis (talk • contribs) 19:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine, you can feel free to recreate Generation2 but you need to add citations from reliable sources to comply with the verifiability policy, and to write from a neutral point of view. Stifle (talk) 19:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
