Speedy deletion nomination of Volcanic Air

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 Volcanic Air, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. 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 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 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. — kikichugirl ^speak up! 07:43, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Note that this article had already been deleted by another admin a few days before. I deleted your article because

it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you gave references they were to your own website and tourism pages rather than reliable third-party sources. I can't really see why this company is notable anyway.
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. The article basically consists of what you sell (where you go and the quality of the planes) and awards. There is little about the company itself. How many employees? Turnover? Profits? Has the company ever received negative publicity? Who are its competitors?
I can see why you are aggrieved that Harbour Air Seaplanes still exists, but I think it's too long established to speedy delete (you could tag it and see), and it does have more content and perhaps more notability. You could nominate via WP:AFD if you wish.
If you want to try again, I can let you have the deleted text in a user subpage
