I see that at User talk:Sabine O Dwyer/sandbox you wrote "This page is not unambiguously promotional, because ... it is for a childrens theatre page." I am at a loss to understand why you think that it is not possible to write a promotional page about a children's theatre, but the page was entirely promotional from start to finish. It was perfectly clear that it was written to impress the reader with what a good and noble job the company is doing. I also see that after the page had been deleted because it was promotional, your re-created it, with some changes in formatting but no, or virtually no, changes in content. You may have originally come here sincerely thinking, as many people do, that "anyone can edit Wikipedia" means "anyone can use Wikipedia for whatever purposes they like, including posting a promotional page for their organisation", but by the time you created the page for the second time, you had been informed that this was not so. You are very welcome to start contributing to Wikipedia from a neutral point of view on subjects other than your theatre company, but if your only purpose is to publicise that company, then Wikipedia is not the place for you to do do.
