Thanks for the COI declration. You need to post it to your user page at User:Lisafie. You use the template {{Paid}} in the form: {{paid|user=Lisafie|employer=Helen Hayes Hospital|client=}}

I have blocked Burke Rehabilitation Hospital and removed about a third of the content.

I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the hospital, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the hospital claims or interviewing its management.
you gave some references, but they were mostly to your own website, not independent third-party sources. Also don't use bare urls, use <ref>[url description]</ref>
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: first free-standing physical rehabilitation hospital in the United States.... one of the nation's most respected rehabilitation facilities... is recognized as a leader... internationally-recognized... internationally-recognized for excellence... nationally recognized center
you need more hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, income and expenditure.

You could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. Since you have declared a COI, you can write the article if you wish, although this is strongly discouraged. Any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process at Draft:Helen Hayes Hospital, rather than directly.

Please ask if there is anything you don't understand since a further deletion may lead to the article being protected from recreation. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 20:04, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note that like everything else on Wikipedia, they must be free for anyone to modify, distribute or use for any purpose, including commercial use. In practice, this means they must be either

Thanks!

Thanks so much Jimfbleak! I will learn more about Wikipedia before posting again and will avoid posting about anything that sounds like an advertisement. I will also let you know as soon as I have photos to share! We have so many and need to sift through them for photos that we would like to release the rights to.
