Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the event organisers, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. You gave some references, but they were not in-line so we can't tell what fact each is supporting, but in any case two of the references don't even mention World Thrombosis Day, and the third is your own website, clearly not an independent third-party source.
 * I can't see any indication of how the event meets the criteria for notability. We have no real facts such as credible estimates of participation or coverage at international level
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: (WTD) is a global movement... WTD strives to reduce death and disability caused by the condition... WTD focuses attention on the often overlooked and misunderstood condition of thrombosis. With hundreds of educational events and activities around the world, WTD and its partners place a global spotlight on thrombosis as an urgent and growing health problem.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when it is a spamlink to your own site.
 * the article was a copyright violation at least in part, of this page. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. The copied page is marked  © 2016 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, Inc. All rights reserved. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
 * what changes we would need to make... Our intent... have this page as a resource for individuals... It is very important to us to have a Wikipedia page...&mdash; you may not edit on behalf of an organisation, only as an individual. Also see ownership
 * You have a conflict of interest when editing this article and you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your event is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * You appear to be a paid employee of ISTH. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization, directly or indirectly, to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the company you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.
