Re:Michael Howard Studios edit
Hi Justindanielnyc. You may want to read WP:OTHERSTUFF. Articles for deletion are judged on their own merit, not in comparison to others so I wouldn't recommend making comparisons between articles. Your article was removed because of its advertising tone. I think the best remedy to avoid re-deletion (assuming it is re-posted) would be to re-write the article so that it is in accordance with WP:ADS and WP:MOS. Hope that helps to clarify things. -FASTILY (TALK) 01:44, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
