I hope you have a successful time editing here. However, you have unfortunately made a not very successful start. The article Harrisons (Burley) Ltd has been deleted in accordance with the criteria for speedy deletion. This has been for two reasons: (1) The article was about a business, but gave no indication that the business is significant enough to justify having an encyclopaedia article about it. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information on anything, and requires subjects of articles to have a significant degree of notability. You may like to look at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) to see what sort of thing is required. Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations may also be useful to you. (2) The article appeared to be a copyright infringement of http://www.harrisonsburley.com/#/about-us/4545529783. Unless we have clear evidence that content has been released into the public domain or licensed under terms compatible with Wikipedia's reuse conditions, we cannot accept copies of material from other web sites.

  • I see that, while I was drafting the above message, you posted an enquiry to my talk page. I should also mention, in the light of what you said in your message to me, that Wikipedia articles are supposed to be written from a neutral, third party, point of view, and that if you write about a subject in which you have a close involvement, such as your family's business, then you have a conflict of interest. Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages writing an article about a subject in which you have such an involvement. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
