Please help me with creation of the page for the company "Deskera" website: www.deskera.com based on the bloomberg snapshot at http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=321196095

First, read WP:Your first article. Then, check out WP:Notability and WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and WP:Notability (summary), to be sure that your subject is suitable for an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia does not expect to have an article about every company that exists.

Collect references from reliable sources to support what the article will say, including independent ones (substantial comment not based on press releases) to show notability. Then, I suggest using WP:Articles for creation to guide you through the process. That will offer you the opportunity to send your draft for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback. Write in your own words - don't copy from the company website, or anywhere else. Take great care not to write in a promotional tone - anything that reads like an advertisement will be deleted.

I see that most or all of your edits have been about Deskera. If you are employed or paid by them, you should read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You will see that you should not post directly about Deskera, but may submit a draft article for review by uninvolved users, or make suggestions on article talk pages. Note also that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4), and in some jurisdictions by laws against covert advertising, to disclose your interest in any edits for which you expect to be remunerated.

I did not see that articles about Deskera had already been deleted three times. No, it was not a mistake, it was the result of these deletion discussions:

Reading those suggests to me that you will be wasting your time. Several experienced users have evaluated the available sources (including the Bloomberg one you refer to) and concluded that Deskera is not notable in Wikipedia's sense. This is, intentionally, quite a high bar (see WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:AUD), because Wikipedia does not want to become a business directory.

Because it was persistently re-created, the title has been "salted" - protected against creation. If you write a draft, it will not be posted without permission from the protecting administrator, user Jo-Jo Eumerus or, if they do not agree, from WP:Deletion review.

If you do choose to proceed, you must declare your interest - see WP:PSCOI#Disclosure and WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE. Then, follow my advice above about how to make a draft, and ask permission for it to be posted. But I repeat: I think you will be wasting your time. Wikipedia is not for listing every company.
