 * the article was 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. In this case, the site you took the text from is clearly marked © Copyright 2009 H2O Innovation Inc. and there is no indication that the company is prepared to make its website free for anyone to copy. 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.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: a unique know-how... active and important player... active and important player... a sound development strategy... gains expertise in seawater desalination... attracts the attention of European sustainable development funds... strengthens its offer to the oil & gas and mining industries... gains expertise in process water treatment... brings increased efficiency... its recognized expertise and advanced technologies to deliver a solution that meets the municipalities needs... consider every aspect of requirements, giving communities an edge... reliable, durable, compact, automated and powerful permanent and mobile solutions... make its clients more competitive... ensure employees safety... The Company provides peace of mind every day and ensures full compliance with environmental standards.—and much, much more in the same vein. It's a sales leaflet, not an encyclopaedia article. All those TM icons are a sure sign that what will follow is company spam.
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
 * it's all about what the company does and sells, little about the company itself other than locations and employees. Turnover? Profits? Has the company ever received negative publicity? Who are its competitors?
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your company is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
