Tour des Trees
I am contacting you regarding the deletion of the Stihl Tour des Trees article. When I view the reason for the article being deleted, I see: 23:43, 11 October 2011 RHaworth (talk | contribs) deleted "STIHL Tour des Trees" ‎ (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion).

I can assure you that this is not intended as an advertisement, simply information regarding a bike tour that is held every year to benefit tree research and education. Is there any way that the copy of this article can be altered so that it does not come across as an advertisement or promotion? Thank you for all of your help, it is much appreciated. &mdash; via e-mail.


 * The article had been in existence for more than two years. How is it that in all that time no-one had seen fit to provide any evidence of notability? You have a blatant COI so we would prefer you to wait until someone with no COI comes along and writes about the tour. If you insist on trying to force an article in, you might like to try and find a sponsor. I have e-mailed you a copy of the article. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:48, 24 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response. I have just joined this team, so I cannot speak on the actions of the article over the last two years, however there is evidence of the tour's notability via articles in major news publications, including The Wall Street Journal. I will try to find a sponsor to author the article. Thank you for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.51.31.6 (talk) 16:22, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
