Please do not tag our article for speedy deletion. We are trying to display the history of our company just as Nordstrom, Macy's, and Office Depot have. We have received many requests from users of Wikipedia to create an article about the history of our company. Our top manufacturers and business partners also have articles within Wikipedia such as Herman Miller and Steelcase. If this is not the correct way to list our company within the encyclopedia than please advise how we can do so.

A tag has been placed on User:OfficeDesigns, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 13:29, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello. For future reference, tags are placed on the articles themselves, not on your talk page. I'm afraid that the material has already been deleted by another administrator.

With regards to your question about how to create such material, this particular article would be governed by the notability guidelines on companies. The rule of thumb here is noting whether the company has received significant or widespread coverage in secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the company (excluding company PR releases and information solely available on the company website&mdash;these sources may be used for additional information after notability has been established by secondary sources). All material must be attributable.

If you are able to assemble necessary sources to assert notability, you may certainly create such an article, although as you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends that you discuss the idea on the talk page of a related article or at a relevant WikiProject or list the article at requested articles instead. If you do choose to write the article, you'll want to be particularly careful to approach it neutrally and without undue promotion. You may also need to do so under a different username. Our username policies discourage usernames based on companies, particularly when those accounts seem to be used to promote the entities for which they are named.

You might also want to look at Your first article and How to write a great article for general tips. Please consider taking a tour through the Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. Good luck, and if you have any questions about these policies, please let me know at my talk page or ask at the help desk. Please remember to sign your comments on talk pages by typing ~ at the end of your notes. Thank you, and good luck. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
