Speedy deletion
[edit]Hello there, I appreciate that it is discouraging to have one's first article immediately deleted and I just wanted to explain a little more why your response on the talk page was not sufficient to save the article. I tagged it as a potential advertisement at least partly because articles about companies involved in marketing, PR, advertising and similar activities often suffer from this problem. When a new article appears from an editor who has had very little activity on Wikipedia, the suspicion is always that the editor has registered not for the general aim of contributing to an encyclopaedia, but with the specific aim of promoting a particular company (or service, or point of view, or whatever...) This was not helped in the case of your article by there being no sources to establish the notability of the company. If you have no conflict of interest which would make it difficult for you to maintain a neutral point of view, then there is no reason not to recreate the article. But you would need to look very carefully at these criteria and make sure that your could cite authoritative sources to prove the company's notability.
