Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... Its for my business, why can a company like google get a page and a company like borehole drilling south africa not. What am I doing wrong, because i dont want to break any rules I just want to list my business on wikipedia we've been around for 50 years. --Boreholedrillingsa (talk) 05:51, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business listing. (See WP:YELLOW). There are plenty of other websites that do that. Wikipedia also has a clear conflict of interest policy which means that you will not be able to write about your own company here. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 05:58, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
