Speedy deletion of Wallace Collins, Esq.

A tag has been placed on Wallace Collins, Esq. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Deadly∀ssassin 08:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

First Thank you for your response. Secondly, I am having a problem on a deleted page i put in :

1. The first part of the problem is that it was hard for me to do i am an internals programmer and C C++ programmer (or was retired) so my entry in Wikipedia for my friend may not have been initially the best i was trying to follow the format. I need help or someone who can take a simple page on a person and put it up.

2. the next thing is a person by the name of "Spellcaster" zapped the page without even doing the proper searching: I was not yet done with the page and had to leave on a business trip without Computer, so did not have time to put in everything that was about Wallace. But i did put in enough and on the talk page for someone to research and see that this person was Noteable.

The page was:

Hi! I noticed your help request, and decided to take a look. I'm an administrator, so can see the deleted page, and I must admit, the article that was written did appear as an advertisement, or at least it was not written from a neutral point of view. If you want the deletion to be overturned, and the page restored, then deletion review is the place to request it. I hope I have been of some assistance.

• He copy-pasted the article AND AfD discussion. I removed it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

{{helpme}} I have put it up under deletion review: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_May_18#Wallace_Collins.2C_Esq.

i do not know what else to do and i am not aware of how to write it then so that it does not sound like a PR Piece or commercial. I did not mean it to be so.
