What a coincidence; David's first message just led to me rescuing a one-sentence article on a mayor of New York City which had been tagged {{db-bio}}. Clearly mayors of New York as a class have never done anything notable, and therefore are just fair game for deletion these days </snark>
I had one recently where I was reading a news article that mentioned a Chinese company, and gave only one bit of information about the company explaining why it was significant. I wanted to know more about the company than just that, but what appeared to be the company's homepage was entirely in Chinese. So I created a stub article consisting of just that one bit of information about why it was significant. My hope was that others would fill in the rest later. I've done this before and it's worked quite well.
{{db-inc}}, "does not assert the importance or significance of the subject." Sigh.
I undeleted it and reformatted the article so that it _looked_ "more complete" - gave it a references section and an inline reference to that news article, added some pointless wikilinks, and mentioned one of their products (though the product itself doesn't have a Wikipedia page). That seems to have been sufficient for it to be kept this time.
