Homes for Heroes
I saw you posted on my page and then changed your mind. To answer your query anyway, I deleted your article because I hope this clarifies  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  14:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you gave some sources, most of the text had no sources. Note that YouTube is not acceptable as a reference.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include:  substantial rebates and discounts... heroes who serve our nation... (note, should be US, this is a global website)  extraordinary savings... local heroes... extraordinary services to our community... &mdash; and much more in the same vein. It's a mixture of eulogy and sales pitch, not an encyclopaedia article.


 * The only criterion for an entry is whether the topic meets the notability criteria above. ...is located in 46 states nationwide and includes 890 Realtor and lender affiliates. The program is also responsible for over $2.8 million in hero savings to date. &mdash; I'm no expert on US estate agencies, but I would guess this was notable enough, and you should be able to find enough proper references as defined above.


 * It will need rewriting virtually from scratch as a neutral encyclopaedia article without all the opinions, testimonials etc, but if you want to have a go, write a draft here initially. Let me know if you need help,  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:43, 23 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Not necessarily every sentence, in particular if several consecutive sentences have the same source, you don't need to repeat every time. You can use news sources, but obviously there may be issues depending on the source. Something like the on-line version of a major newpaper, the Huffington Post or similar is fine, a blog isn't. Also be careful about newspaper interviews. A newspaper reporting the company as being wonderful because the CEO said that to them doesn't make it so.


 * The company website is fine for stuff like history and other uncontroversial items, but you need other sources for anything that looks like opinion or which may be contested.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  13:30, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Have a look at Arbogast & Bastian for ideas on layout. It's not perfect (ideally, there shouldn't be refs in the lead, which is just a summary, and Notes usually precedes References), but it might help  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  13:39, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
