Speedy deletion of J Dixon & sons

A tag has been placed on J Dixon & sons 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

J Dixon & sons

I appreciate your taking the time to write to me regarding the article. I also commend your effort to make the article notable enough to be included, however I have some words of advice to offer:
1. As tempting as it might be, please do not remove any speedy deletion template (the {{db-corp}}) from an article you have created. If an administrator sees you doing this, you could be blocked. Simply just add the "hold on" immediately under it, and explain in the talk page.
2. Try not to create article without having at least one good reference included as it is created. This way, it saves the confusion of whether or not the author will still be working on it or not, and we can leave it as is.
3. If you are working on an article, I recommend using the {{underconstruction}} or {{inuse}} templates to let reviewers know not to tag it, as I have. It saves time and confusion as well.
4. (A minor issue) You only need to click the "signature" button once to produce a sufficient signature. When it says four times, it means that a single "~" needs to be typed four times, not four groups of four. Or just use the button, whichever you prefer.
