Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to 80sTees.com. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. The Determinator p t c 14:14, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Notability

The chief problem at this point is that the company doesn't appear to be notable by Wikipedia guidelines. The references you provide are either not reliable sources (a web forum) or are trivial mentions of the company (the NYT reference) or both. Notability require that a company be covered in some detail by multiple reliable sources in independent media. A mere mention in the New York Times is short of an indication of notability: an article devoted to the company would be far better. The better references focus primarily on Mr. Stecko rather than the company. You also appear to have a conflict of interest that might affect your editorial judgment. I suggest that you create an article in a userspace sandbox at User:Katemm88/sandbox where you can develop the article and references: I'll put the last version there. In the meantime, please review WP:CORP, WP:NOTE, WP:RS and WP:V, and WP:COI as well for advice on notability, sourcing, and editing with a conflict of interest.

To elaborate, the business journal articles help, and the mention in out-of-town media help, so you may be on the right track, but I'm concerned that the present version of the article wouldn't survive a formal deletion debate, which can be somewhat wounding. I'd rather you improved the article in a sandbox first before putting it back into article space. I can lift the protection so you can do that, or I can undelete it and see whether it survives a formal deletion nomination (as opposed to the speedy deletions of today), as on review I think the article makes a credible assertion of notability, but doesn't yet sustain it well enough to last. The obviously promotional nature of the earlier versions is unfortunate, so it would be best to have it worked out in userspace before putting it back in article spcae.Acroterion (talk) 14:48, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
