I am declaring a Conflict Of Interest as I have created a page titled Antix Labs and I am employed by Antix Labs.

Speedy deletion of Antix Labs
A tag has been placed on Antix Labs, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business 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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

The content is a matter of fact it is not intended to be purely promotional if it were then it would simply be a reflection of the business webpage. There are other entries across Wikipedia with content of a similar nature and I am struggling to understand this. I could remove the content explaining the capability but considered that this was important to a reader. I had intended, although the company is young to add a section on its milestones and history as well as its contribution to open standards. But I am now concerned and do not want to compromise the Wikipedia policies and would appreciate guidance.

I am citing and referencing sources and ensuring that these are independent where possible.

I have made minor changes to the original content as well as additional factual content, citing reference sources that, where possible, are independent of the company.

FYI conflict of interest guideline
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 or creating 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,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
