[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Montblanc America's Signatures for Freedom pens

Hi, having read your request at deletion review, I'd like to offer my services in undeleting these articles and moving them to your userspace. While I don't think that any one Montblanc edition requires its own article, there's potential in a collective account. The major concern cited in the deletion debate was the complete lack of critical commentary from reliable sources. If these editions are notable in the field of pen collecting and you can dig up some third-party reviews and appraisals to back up that assertion, then there should be enough material for you to compile an article that is consistent with WP:V & WP:N. My suggestion would be to move the revisions of all of the deleted entries to a temp location (a la User:BMcCJ/sandbox) to serve as a draft for a full-fledged article or list. Let me know what you think of this idea, I'll be happy to help in any way I can. Regards, ˉˉanetode╦╩ 08:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

YES, please and thank you!
I've undeleted and merged the content of these articles to User:BMcCJ/Montblanc. That page is currently a cut and paste of the source content of each article, note that the file history is preserved collectively. Given some work, this content would lend well to a stand-alone list. Since these articles were already deleted, any new draft must be significantly different from the deleted versions and must reference secondary and tertiary sources. You must make sure to include a detailed lead section that clearly explains why the various Montblanc editions are notable. Entries on individual pens should be annotated with details like the number manufactured, outside reviews and listings, historical background, etc. Good luck and happy editing! ˉˉanetode╦╩ 21:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
