A tag has been placed on A.O. Smith Corporation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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 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. Paste (talk) 16:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi WikiSkeptic. Looks like Rbanzi had a change of heart and beat me to it. Let me know if you need a third opinion on anything else, though. Olaf Davis | Talk 08:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note that if you continue to attack other editors (accusing them of "lynching"), you will be censured. Follow dispute resolution, instead. El_C 20:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
