Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Five star alliance, has been tagged for speedy deletion because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service.

Speedy deletion of Five Star Alliance
A tag has been placed on Five Star Alliance, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * You wrote on the deleted article's talk page:
 * I am not sure how to make this article less "promotional" since all I am trying to do is add a wiki page for the company to show that it exists. I write articles for the blog, and I have had waaay to many question what it is - which is why I was hoping a wiki page (very small) would be added so that other users could log in and get more information and also update it.

 * The entity in question must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for organizations and companies. If you can find verifiable, reliable sources, by all means recreate it with those properly cited. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 21:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I tried again, but I am pretty sure I failed.
