I originally speedy tagged this as spam but an admin removed the tag (the original editor didn't weigh in with a "hangon" template as is normal - an external admin decided to create more work here by proactively removing the speedy tag). Anyway, absolutely no attempt to establish notability. Article is a single line saying "hey, we exist." Original posting didn't even spell "dosmetic" correctly. In my opinion, if the original editor was going to expand this, the "hangon" tag would have been fine. But admin action means we all have to go the extra mile and do an AfD on this.

*<del>'''Weak Keep'''</del> As the admin said, this page is not ''unambiguously promotional''. Research shows that this firm is notable enough with quite a large amount of sources available. But boy does this need a rewrite if this article is to stay. <strong>[[User:Fattyjwoods|<span style="color:black">Fattyjwoods</span>]]</strong> ^{<em>[[User talk:Fattyjwoods|<span style="color:green">Push my button</span>]]</em>} 02:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

::I have no problem understanding keeping this on procedural grounds. I've had occasions where a speedy tag or an AfD has nudged an editor (or other editors) into expending some effort to save an article (which I think is the point of doing both of those things). I've expended effort on my own to save articles. However, in lieu of no improvement, I'd rather see these sort of things nipped in the bud. I think lots of editors let procedure get in the way of doing the obvious. I don't lose sleep over these things surviving, but the cumulative effect over many years is lots of dross in the wikipedia-sphere. Also, in my opinion, a single line article proclaiming the existence of <strike>an article</strike> a company is unambiguously promotional. In lieu of any justification, what else can it be? It's a Billboard. A sign on the side of the highway. Living in Missouri I'm probably over-sensitized to highway sign noise. --[[User:Quartermaster|Quartermaster]] ([[User talk:Quartermaster|talk]]) 03:43, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

***In fact after some in-depth researching I found heaps of good reliable sources for this article, and have added it in. All it needs is some work. SO '''Keep'''. <strong>[[User:Fattyjwoods|<span style="color:black">Fattyjwoods</span>]]</strong> ^{<em>[[User talk:Fattyjwoods|<span style="color:green">Push my button</span>]]</em>} 04:24, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
