Answering
In reverse order:

yes, I did. Thank you for caring.

And the problem with the article was that your organization is basically what I call "not yet notable". You're still much too new, you haven't had enough of an effect... would anyone have created the article if they weren't directly involved with you or your organization's members?

I strongly suggest you read our guidelines on notability. External, third-party media coverage would help. I also suggest you read our guidelines on conflict of interest.

Please note that I am not saying there should never be an article about your organization; only that there should not be an article about your organization at this time.

I realize that this is not the answer you were hoping for; however, please try to see this from our point of view. DS (talk) 01:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Lone Star Holidays Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Lone Star Holidays Logo.png, which you've sourced to (logo). I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Lone Star Holidays Logo.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Lone Star Holidays Logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:49, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Lone Star Holidays
Hi John, the article was deleted as unambiguous advertising, which is not permitted under our policies. Sentences such as "The founding members met through various Christmas decorating groups, but soon realized how much fun could be had if a group was created to focus on ALL areas of ALL holidays… and soon after, Lone Star Holidays was born." are purely advertorial. Wikipedia articles should be written in a neutral, encyclopedic tone. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:55, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
