edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Crossen Kooi Law 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Shirt58 (talk) 13:29, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Crossen Kooi Law

A tag has been placed on Crossen Kooi Law, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Why your article was deleted again
editTwo reasons:
- Wikipedia is not a business listing directory: it does not expect to have articles about every company that exists. As an encyclopedia, it is selective about subjects: the criterion used is called Wikipedia:Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:42 and WP:Notability (organizations and companies). Many perfectly worthy organizations cannot pass that test. That is not at all to their discredit, but it means that they are not suitable subjects for a global encyclopedia.
- Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind, and is extremely resistant to attempts to use it in that way. On the talk page you wrote "every thing found on here can be found as facts", but what you wrote included "an aggressive legal team... dedicated to providing strong advice and aggressive legal representation... experienced attorneys... dedicated to client service... " All those glowing adjectives are opinions, and that writing is ad-speak, PR language. That is an advertisement, saying what the company wants to tell the world about itself, but it is not an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. See WP:PEACOCK.
The fact that you wrote like that makes me wonder whether you are connected with the company, which would from Wikipedia's point of view give you a WP:Conflict of interest. One of the reasons why editing with a COI is discouraged is that people connected with a subject find it hard to avoid writing promotionally, or even to recognise that they are doing so.
There is good general advice at WP:Your first article, and some background in User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard, which I wrote because I have this conversation rather often.

- Reading over the above, I should have made one point clearer: articles are not expected to be perfect at first, and although advertisements are deleted at sight, references to establish notability are not essential at first. To avoid speedy deletion under criterion WP:CSD#A7 it is enough to provide "a credible claim of significance or importance"; but if an article is to be kept, references to establish notability will be required, so it is good to locate them while planning an article, and to include them soon if not immediately.

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Mdann52 (talk) 13:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
