Explanation
As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article Woodsock. both for promotionalism and for no indication of possible importance. On the now deleted talk page you said
 * This page should not be speedily deleted because... (woodsock is a new established company and deserves to have its place in certain encyclopaedias, due to other fashion company examples. considering article G11, it would be irrelevant to consider it as advertising as it is solely informational. i would see no reason why it shouldn't be allowed to continue as a page on wikipedia. I hope you take this view into consideration

But Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and an encyclopedia contains those things that are already recognized by the world as notable. It's not a directory, listing every company whatsoever (see WP:NOT for a fuller explanation). Thus, no person or company "deserves" a place in WP by its intrinsic merit--this can only be shown by references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.

An article about a non-notable new company listing its products, without any information or references to show the products are significant, is advertising. Material that would be of interest only to prospective purchasers  is considered promotional. We delete all forms of promotion. commercial advertising included

I also deleted the article on the founder, which gave no more information than that he was the founder. That does not indicate any possible importance from the standpoint of an encyclopedia.
