Looks like the newly created Tom Anderson Guitarworks page on Wikipedia is up for "speedy deletion."

Yessir, there is in fact a brand-spanking-new entry, which is much deserved. It is very choppy and in need of some tweaking.

How does one make sure it does not go away? I am a wikipedia member. Is there something I can do?

From what I can tell the only thing it needs is sources and references and maybe a little bit of "non-advertisement" type wording so that it is "negative point of view."

It looks pretty light on information either positive or negative. Just a few slowly building facts. Not something that I'd expect to be deleted straight away. There is also no disambiguator entry for "Tom Anderson" to the "Tom Anderson Guitarworks" article.

The sneaky thing about wikipedia is that you only need references for some reasonable proportion of the information. The other 10% is usually written in from 'common knowledge', folklore, and people who have direct experience. That kind of info usually doesn't have verifiable references, short of calling up and asking a particular individual to verify it.
