The article Ritambhara-Biggest College Fashion festival of India has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

It's hard to know where to start, because the whole article was written as if it were the promotional brochure for the festival. In fact, even your title is promotional. (The Franklin High School article is not titled "Ben Franklin-Best High School in Louisiana".) This is why we insist that articles get their information not from the personal knowledge of the writer (who often is involved with the subject of the article, and is therefore not neutral), but from reliable independent sources. If you look at the Franklin article, you'll see numerous independent sources such as news articles. If there are such sources describing the Ritambhara event, you should find them and write the article based on what the sources say -- not on your desire to make the festival sound worthwhile.
