Speedy deletion nomination of The Ride (bus tour)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that The Ride (bus tour), a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do, and take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

In response to your feedback

Quite the contrary, User:Basalisk never stated you were a target. Your article was deleted because it was written like an advertisement and was non-notable. Articles must be supported by reliable sources, especially third-party. Consider visiting Wikipedia:Writing better articles.

I totally agree & am fine with the conduct of User:Basalisk. I had asked assistance & he provided it. I was disappointed to receive the rough treatment of User:RHaworth when I wanted to cover all the bases of trying to create a better article. I dropped a note on the talk page as a courtesy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RHaworth/2012_Jul_06#The_RIDE_Page_Deletion. I thought it would be good to keep him in the loop as to my efforts to improve and get the article posted (it's not a frivolous ad, rather the actual item the article is about is a notable item, and warrants addition to wiki) -- so that that user would not thoughtlessly delete the page again without review or collaboration with other editors ho are interested in having a good article posted here.
