Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked indefinitely without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline.  AK Radecki Speaketh  15:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

NSP deletion response
Woah, Nelly (or, in this case, MissTiffee). First, don't go trying to "demand" anything. You'll find that I'm very willing to help and explain things when approached politely, but when you start demanding that I respond to you, and dictating how I email things (which I won't be doing, your response is coming here), that doesn't start things off well, and I'm not nearly as inclined to be helpful.

First, when dealing with copyright issues, merely stating that you have permission simply doesn't cut it. We take copyright law very seriously, and anyone can say they have permission, whether they actually have it or not. So, we have a process for documenting permission. Please refer to Requesting copyright permission and follow it. Much of the text was a copyright violation, and that was one of the two primary reasons that it was deleted.

Secondly, it was deleted as spam. It was written as promotional literature (for instance, a promo piece will have "testimonials", an encyclopedia article won't). I challenge you to find any article in Britannica or World Book Encyclopedia that was written to promote a company like you wrote yours. Wikipedia is not a place to promote your organization. We do not provide free advertising, and we are not a national directory of organizations.

Thirdly, it is highly inappropriate for you to be writing about your organization...that treads heavily on our conflict of interest guidelines. I don't need proof that you're an employ of the organization, in fact, you being an employee is a major strike against the legitimacy of this article, as you're essentially admitting that you're writing it to promote your organization. We call that spam, and persisting in spam will get your articles deleted and, if it goes far enough, can even result in you getting blocked from editing here.

Fourth, this is an encyclopedia. We have notability standards, and we require that notability to be documented by sources. In your case, the notability standards can be found here: Notability (organizations and companies). Beyond being "notable", the sources are important as well. We require "secondary" sources, meaning basically that your organization has been covered by news media somewhere. Please see our verifiability requirements.

Lastly, please reconsider how you come across. Demanding things, as if you have a right to use the Foundation's resources to promote your organization, does nothing for your case. Being civil, even nice, being cooperative, and seeking to genuinely conform your edits to our guidlines and policies will get you numerous editors and admins who will go to great lengths to be helpful to you.
