Why is this page marked for deletion? Many other companies have pages just like this. Why does this one draw so much attention? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.168.0.34 (talk • contribs) 21:57, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As reviewing administrator: I think the article not purely promotional -- speedy declined since it can be fixed by editing. It needs fixing--see our Business FAQ for the way to write these articles. It attracted attention, of course, because it was just added. If you know of any similarly promotional pages, please let me know. You can also place speedy tags on them yourself, but I would advise you very strongly not to do so until you're more familiar with our standards. And see our guide to writing Wikipedia articles for our formatting--we do not use raw html markup. It does still work for reason of backwards compatibility, but it should be changed into our wikicode. It helps to learn about the medium for which one is preparing material--always bearing in mind that this is an encyclopedia, not a PR handout.

I removed most of what we would consider promotional, both in content and language. Be sure none of the remainder is copied from any previous publication , or website.

Since only individuals may edit, please adopt a new user name for further editing-- pseudonyms are fine-- declaring your COI at the new user page. DGG (talk) 21:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
