Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place  on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Natalie 19:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "deletion thingy", but the article is being deleted because it does not assert notability, which is a core requirement. The second version you created was deleted because Wikipedia doesn't use placeholder articles. As far as Dublin and Minneapolis, there are far more people in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro than in the Dublin metro, so I'm not sure why Galway, which is even smaller, would be a better fit.

 * Sorry, the notability information was for a different article. Your article was deleted because it was promotional, and Wikipedia has a strict policy against spam. Natalie 19:33, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm actually not vacationing in Dublin, I'm going to be living there for the summer. My college has a co-operative education program, so I'm fulfilling that requirement. Part of the idea is to live somewhere different - I grew up in Minneapolis, I now live in rural Ohio, I spent four months living in Washington, D.C., all like night and day from each other.


 * Anyway, I'm guessing that by Spectrum Strategy you mean Spectrum Strategy Consultants. Part of the problem with the article you created is the lack of an encyclopediac tone (use of the first person, promotional language). The other problem is a lack of references asserting that the company is notable. I would recommend reading the general notability criteria and the specific criteria about companies and corporations, but the core idea is that a subject of a Wikipedia article must be the subject of multiple, non-trivial works whose source is independent of the subject. By non-trivial we mean the work is completely about the company, not just a passing mention in the newspaper or something. So if the company has been profiled in a reliable source (a US equivalent would be Business Week, not sure what the UK version of this would be) then that would be a good source.

 * The fact that there may be sources out there still doesn't address the tone of the article - it read like a promotional brochure. Also, it is incumbent on the user who the article is notable to demonstrate that by finding sources. If you think the business is notable, re-create the article (with sources and minus the sales-pitch language) and I won't delete it. I can't guarantee no one else will, though. Not sure what you meant by "no daylight", so I hope that wasn't too important. Natalie 20:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Your article was deleted because an editor tagged it as not meeting the central notability criterion. The tag puts it on a list of articles that should be speedily deleted, which is how I came to it. The article, as it was written when it was deleted, did not meet policy, and it doesn't matter how many other articles don't meet policy. If somebody else is breaking the rules by having an article about a non-notable company on Wikipedia, that doesn't make it okay for you to break the rules. If you feel that Spectrum Strategy Consultants should not have an article on Wikipedia, than please nominate it for deletion here. Natalie 22:18, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
