| Hello Alan. I am decling speedy deletion of ] because they provide machine translation services that can be accessed via the Microsoft Office Suite application which is used internationally by millions of people across the world. Being that Misplaced Pages is a resource that millions of people use to research information about things that they encounter in their daily lives, an article about this company should be included.

| I have declined the speedy deletion here as the band has received more than adequate coverage in reliable sources, as well as satisfying the notability guideline via album releases. Before pursuing deletion further, please see the article's talk page for details of the coverage that I have found. I would advise leaving more time after an article is created before tagging for deletion. While in an ideal world new articles would be created with substantial content and references, it can sometimes take several revisions before an article gets to this stage, particularly when relatively new editors are involved.

Articles for deletion nomination of Climate change in Sweden
I have nominated Climate change in Sweden, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Climate change in Sweden. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Brilliantine (talk) 01:55, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Climate change in Sweden
A tag has been placed on Climate change in Sweden, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
