The article Coega Development Corporation 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.

PS: I noticed you recreated Coega Development Corporation just after it was deleted. I'm not able to see the previous version, but doing such things are generally seen in a bad light unless the newer version is significantly different (just a question of not trying to "push thru" your article). I guess you work for Coega, you're the webmaster or PR guy? If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy, text formatting, etc, just drop a note; in the mean time I'll try to get the two articles you started more Wikipedia-like (which we call wikification).
