Article deletions[edit]

The articles you wrote were not written from a Neutral point of view, and read like advertising. Advertisements may be speedy deleted under criteria G11 (see WP:CSD) I also had reason to believe your account was part of an astroturfing effort by a PR firm. Paid editing is not allowed on Wikipedia, nor are role accounts. Mak (talk) 18:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. I couldn't say for sure. You need to follow a number of rules, including following a Neutral point of view, and using multiple reliable sources which are independent of the subject. I'm not sure you're going to find those for the subjects you wrote on. Also, we have a very fuzzy and frustrating for newcomers concept called "notability". The idea is that articles should be about things which are "notable" in some way, but what this means varies greatly between contributors. You need to make some sort of case for the subjects to be notable, without resorting to advertising copy. I'm not trying to be difficult, but with the particular articles you're writing, it could go either way in the end. Mak (talk) 18:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
