Speedy deletion nomination of McNichols Company

Hello Vharkishnani,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged McNichols Company for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Blythwood (talk) 21:43, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

McNICHOLS Company

McNICHOLS Company is a specialty metals provider based in Tampa, Florida. The company supplies and fabricates perforated metal, expanded metal, wire mesh, gratings and other products for architectural and industrial applications. The company operates 18 service centers across the United States. History World War II veteran Bob McNichols founded McNICHOLS in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1952. McNichols was the bombardier of a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress that was shot down over Friesack, Germany on October 6, 1944. The only member of the plane’s nine-man crew to survive the crash, McNichols was sent to prisoner-of-war camp Stalag Luft I, near Barth, Western Pomerania, Germany, where he remained until Soviet troops liberated the camp on May 1, 1945. McNichols and his wife Phyllis founded McNICHOLS seven years to the day after his liberation from Stalag Luft I. The company relocated and expanded in the Cleveland area in the 1950s and 1960s.
