Speedy deletion of "White Wolf Custom Bows"

A page you created, White Wolf Custom Bows, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: You appear to be using a company name, which is not generally allowed and always discouraged. Additionally, you appear to be editing in the area of the company's business (traditional archery) so this could appear to some to be Advertising and a Conflict of interest. Please review the above policies and let me know if you have any questions by posting a message to my talk page.

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

• If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 02:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome as an editor

Hi! I think you might be a good editor to have join us but we must adhere to our guidelines & policies. Someone must have written about White Wolf Bows in a newspaper, magazine, book, or other reliable source before it would be considered..we usually use secondary sources here. There is also a conflict of interest issue.

Although your article will be deleted, I would like you to keep editing and I appreciate your contribution to the Archery article. I believe you have a lot to contribute and hope you will help us. Just try general editing in existing articles for a while. Your work looks very good, btw. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 02:12, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
