I deleted the article under the "Advertisement speedy deletion criteria as I felt it was only being used to advertise that company and the article had no encyclopedic value. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertisement or self-promotion. The article was basically a regurgitation of the company's website. The article had no verifiable sources, nor did it show any indication of real world significance per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). It needs to be sourced to verifiable, third party organisations and it needs to written from a neutral point of view. As it was, it was simply an advert for the company which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Regards. Woody (talk) 12:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As stated earlier, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertisement from any organisation so it is not competition. This is not a place to advertise your services. It is a place for encyclopedic entries on companies. That includes criticism sections and information that is to be expected in an encyclopedia, that is what is roughly in place on Lionbridge. The fact that you state "This is unfair competition." shows that you are trying to use Wikipedia for promotional purposes, which is expressly forbidden. Woody (talk) 16:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
