Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

  • it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. You gave some references, but they were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting, but in any case most do not meet the criteria for third party sources. How can an article by the company founder be an independent source? Or by an investor?
  • it's all about what the company does, little about the company itself other its location. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits.
  • it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: has grown to service commercial dealerships all across the U.S.A... they have expanded to include more services... easily search for...
  • there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
  • The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting this topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization, directly or indirectly, to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not.

    Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

    Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Paulabaulabingbong. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Paulabaulabingbong|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

You asked whether the company is notable enough; you simply don't provide any information for us to tell if it meets the criteria above, it could be three people in one office for all we are told.

It's not the worse I've seen. If you want to try again, and it meets the notability criteria, I'll post the deleted text to a user subpage for you to work on, just let me know. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:12, 18 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
