Notability of $49.99 Sewer Man

A tag has been placed on $49.99 Sewer Man, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does 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 assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Fuhghettaboutit 02:42, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alpha1965. I am respomndng to the message you left on my talk page. Notability here has nothing to do with uniqueness or inherent merit of the subject, but focuses on whether the wider world has recognized the company by reliable sources sources (movies, newspapers, newspaper articles, books, etc.) publishing non-trivial material about it. This goes hand-in-hand with our policy that all articles must provide attribution to verify the material stated in the article. We also have a policy against articles that function essentially as advertizements for companies. Our specific notability guidelines for companies are listed at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). So the company may provide a great service; it may even have influenced the plumbing price structure of NYC plumbing companies, but nothing in the unsourced article you posted made it notable enough for an encyclopedia article.--Fuhghettaboutit 12:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
