Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Wikipedia:Help desk. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion.

Hi Sharktail: I saw your post at Wikiproject:Editor retention and found where you had added your draft article to the Help desk, so I thought you might find the links above useful, especially the one on how to create your first article. You should note that you will need to have references to independent reliable sources discussing the company - such as newspaper and magazine articles - to demonstrate notability. One further link that might be useful in summarizing the requirement is this one, which sums up the requirements. And the folks at the Teahouse are really nice, so feel free to ask questions there as well as in the other places and ways mentioned. Yngvadottir (talk) 06:19, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
