Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. 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 company, press releases, 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 company claims or interviewing its management. Most of your text other than the awards was unreferenced, and of those other references I checked, two didn't even mention your company
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: In 2016, the company booked $1.2 billion in room revenue, representing 6 million room nights and more than 48,000 programs... HelmsBriscoe was the first company in its space to deliver one billion dollars in group room revenue... Because HelmsBriscoe works on behalf of their clients... hotels all over the world are researched... The company will track down the answers, follow up with the hotels, and manage the process on the client’s behalf, all at no charge to the client... by representing their clients, they can create the best match&mdash; and so on. the whole thing, including "Corporate Social Responsibility" is largely fact-free unsourced spam
 * You have an awards section, but no criticism, clearly unbalanced. I'm not sure that "big in Phoenix" is actually of global significance, but that's another issue


 * Some of the text is verbatim from the company website, and is therefore a copyright violation. 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 relevant pages are tagged Copyright 2015 HelmsBriscoe. 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.
 * Contrary to what you put in your message, it is not your company page. It is a Wikipedia page about your company that anyone can edit
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. Since you work directly or indirectly for the company, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged 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, since 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:     . Please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

I'll have another look to see if there is anything I can restore, probably tomorrow, but you, and anyone else from your company who edits the article in future must declare their COI as described above Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:55, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
