Hi,

A number of problems.
 * It's never a good idea to write an article on your boss's instruction, it's unlikely to be encyclopaedic and neutral. Before the deletion the article had been tagged as having the following problems: It has few or no links to other articles (It is an orphan). It may need to be wikified to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.Its external links may not comply with Wikipedia's content policies or guidelines. It includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations.
 * you should not have url links in the text. Wikilink if an article exists, format as a reference if that's what it's being used for, or move to external links if not a reference.
 * The article needs independent verifiable sources to show that it meets the notability guidelines and to confirm the claimed facts. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have references. these should be in-line so that we can see what fact is supported by each reference.
 * It has non-encyclopaedic phrasing unsupported by an identifiable source, eg He left reluctantly, the pull of Africa proved too strong etc.
 * Some spammy phrasing without supporting references.  leading medical practice
 * Mr. Holmes is one of the most talented young actors in the country. His departure is a real loss to our theatre &mdash; no source to verify this. No negative reviews?
 * world’s most successful marketing communications networks evidence?
 * a search engine with a lot more, a rich content database that allowed true and confidential interaction with potential service providers. Thus creativebrief was born, the first service of its kind, to connect buyers and sellers of marketing services, saving parties time, cost and confusion. unsourced spam, as is the rest of the "Entrepreneur" section, right to  the Festival had something to attract everyone...

Jada Pinkett Smith is a Good Article and former Featured Article which should give you some ideas on how to tackle a biography of a living person, not necessarily to that standard  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  12:35, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas Ross Holmes
A tag has been placed on Thomas Ross Holmes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Talkback
At least it's not tagged as spam this time! Get your "hold on" response in asap before it's deleted, and also challenge whether it's appropriate for speedy deletion, since it does assert notability. You need to show why the company and/or the festival are notable, without prom ting either. I suspect that the company probably isn't, so you need to give some idea of the importance of the festival. How many companies/people? Notable companies/people attending could be mentioned and wikilinked to their articles if they have them.

Note that references are much more intelligible if you give a description. Instead of  , write it as  , which will list as Creativebrief company website. A minor point, books, magazines and newspapers should be in italics  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  09:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
