Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

  • It was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. In this case, the copied page was marked © 2014 Lamar Advertising Company There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
  • Although we normally restore deleted drafts, that is not possible for legal reasons with copyright violations. Unless you can point us to an earlier version labelled as PD, I cannot restore
  • our organization... one of our members... our campaign on the Wikipedia page.... review with our staff to get this page posted — your message and username indicate that you are editing on behalf of an organisation, which is not permitted by our username policy. I will block this account. Normally I also prevent creation of a new account, but since you do not seem to have promoted your organisation as such, I will allow you to create a new account. The new name must not represent any product or or organisation. please read the policy this time
 
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
