Why was my article on Amwood Homes, Inc. deleted? There was nothing derogatory about it, it was informational only.

If you are refering to the article on User:Lsingles, it is promotional in tone, and does not cite any references to show it is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (WP:GNG, WP:42). 17:23, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

The above is absolutely correct, the page was promotional. We do not allow the use of any page on Wikipedia, including user pages, to contain promotional content or advertising. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 17:34, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above assessments. The information was rather obviously taken straight from the company's "about us" page. Wikipedia is not free ad space. Huon (talk) 18:00, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Lsingles

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.

A tag has been placed on User:Lsingles, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
