I have deleted the page, as in addition to being worded like an advertisement, all the content was copied from their website, and thus was a copyright violation. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:40, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Don't create an article to ask a question. Post it on the user's talk page or at the help desk. Aside from the promotional and copyright violation issues already mentioned, as a member on the board of AAHID you have a conflict of interest and should not write an article about it. See WP:COI. Wikipedia is not here to promote your service so that potential clients can find you. If your group is notable enough to warrant an article then let someone write a neutral article about it with reliable independent sources. Meters (talk) 22:04, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers
Hi there.

I noticed that you created an article on the "American Academy of Healthcare Interior Designers", asking how you might get the organisation listed on Wikipedia for the benefit of potential clients. As some of my colleagues have explained above, this is not really the purpose of Wikipedia, which is intended to develop a neutral encyclopædia rather than serve as a business directory or as social media. If you have further questions, can I suggest you drop into the Wikipedia Teahouse, where the hosts will be happy to answer your specific questions without your pages getting deleted. Best of luck, Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:31, 22 August 2017 (UTC).
