Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Mackenzie & halbert, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Bazj (talk) 13:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's inappropriate because you're recreating an article with the same flaws it had the last time you did it 2 weeks ago. Bazj (talk) 13:38, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Advice

If you want to have another go at an article on Mackenzie & Halbert, start by (re-)reading WP:Your first article.

Then, think hard about Wikipedia:Notability. Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles, and that is the test for inclusion. It is not a matter of saying so, but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:Notability (summary).

That has the advantage of being a more objective test than "Do we think it's important?" and also of ensuring that there are independent sources for the article. It is quite a tough test, and many worthy organizations, especially new ones, cannot pass it. That is not at all to their discredit, but it means they are not suitable subjects for a global encyclopedia.

Because of its promotional language and use of "we" and "our", I guess that some of what you wrote was taken from the firm's website or literature. That's a mistake - it may well be a copyright violation, and anyway the tone will be wrong. An encyclopedia article is not the company telling the world about itself, but an impartial view from outside.

See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for more advice. If you go ahead, I suggest using the WP:Article wizard to guide you through the process. That will give you an option, rather then posting the article directly, to send it for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback.
