Speedy deletion of "Heather Robinson Live Communication"

Autobiography and self-advertisement
[edit]You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Heather Robinson Live Communication. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Heather Robinson Live Communication, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--Orange Mike | Talk 14:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Wikipedia has inclusion criteria, the principal two of which in this case are notability, further expanded upon for companies at WP:CORP, and advertising is not allowed, both of which were a problem here. You also appear to have a conflict of interest and are strongly advised not to create or edit articles where you have a conflict - if your company is notable, sooner or later someone not connected with it will write an acceptable article. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 14:52, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
- And you can always add your company at WikiCompany where there are no inclusion criteria. – ukexpat (talk) 15:03, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
