Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Allen & Company of Florida, Inc.
A tag has been placed on Allen & Company of Florida, Inc., 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 unambiguous 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. Wuh Wuz  Dat  19:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Allen & Company of Florida, Inc.
The article was deleted for two reasons: because it appeared to be a copyright infringement with no assertion of permission, and because it was promotional. There is a page Donating copyrighted materials about how to grant permission for Wikipedia to use the content if you own the copyright, however if you have a close connection with the company, that would be a conflict of interest, and it may be more appropriate to wait until someone else creates the article. If you do still want to create the page, it may need to be rewritten to remove anything that may appear to be promotional. snigbrook (talk) 18:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
