Speedy deletion of Mint Lifestyle

A tag has been placed on Mint Lifestyle, 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 article's 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Mint Lifestyle, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Cunard (talk) 17:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Mint Lifestyle. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

VANDALISM

The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

OK!!

I don't understand why you keep deleting things before I have a chance to figure out what is going on! Calm down. Please help me to get the article to conform to the community standards!!

Mint Lifestyle

The problem with this article is that if all the spammy elements were trimmed out, only two sentences would be left. It would qualify as a stub, but it still doesn't assert notability. The sources you provided, one from The Wall Street Journal and one from the Los Angeles Times were reliable sources. The first one used this company as an example (but still didn't exactly show why the company was notable), and I couldn't find anything about the company in the second source. I've removed the advertising elements but the article may still be deleted by an administrator if they believe the company does not meet the notability requirements. If the speedy is declined, the article may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for discussion on whether Mint Lifestyle is notable or not. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 18:37, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
