Velletta & Company article
I've placed the article as it was when deleted into a sandbox page for you to look at; it's located at User:Bill.hepburn/Sandbox. The issues that I see with the article in that version are that it has no reliable sources - the references provided are not to independent edited sources, but to company or association websites, for example. Much of the article is written in a promotional tone. The company must meet the guidelines set out at WP:CORP to be acceptable as an article here. Hope this helps. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Tony Fox (arf!) 16:10, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

User:Bill.hepburn/Sandbox
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Bill.hepburn/Sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages: user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 22:55, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
