The page User:Gourav2812/sandbox/Gray Routes has been speedily deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. There were two reasons for this, either of which would have been sufficient grounds for deletion. (1) The page consisted mostly, in fact as far as I could see entirely, of content copied from other sources, in violation of copyright. In most of the content that I checked the copying was exactly word for word. In a few places there was minor rewording, but the text was still close enough to the original to make the copying perfectly obvious. (2) The page was unambiguously promotional, reading more like an advertisement than an objective encyclopaedia article. Promotional editing is not permitted, and can lead to being blocked from editing by a Wikipedia administrator.

My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make (which you will, because we all do) will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start. Also, if you ever do decide to write an article about a business again, I strongly recommend first reading FAQ/Organizations, which contains a good summary of various relevant issues, together with links to policies and guidelines which give further detail.
