Why was it deleted?
(response copied from Help_desk)

The article was deleted as it failed the notability criteria as detailed here. WP:CORP gives more detail on what the Wikipedia guidelines consider as "notable" for a company; in particular note that the company must have "significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." The article as you created it does not mention any coverage at all in any sources. One of the things that Wikipedia is not is a vehicle for promotion of anything, including companies. There are further problems; your username appears to indicate that you are intimately connected with the company (both the "key people" you mention in the article are named "Humphrey") which falls foul of the conflict of interest guidelines at WP:COI. In a nutshell, please don't (as you put it) waste any more of your time trying to use Wikipedia as a vehicle to "inform people about your company" (as an advertising medium, in other words). Best of luck in your venture, but you'll have to get advertising space elsewhere. As for "XYZ has an article, so why don't I?" please see WP:OSE. Tonywalton Talk 23:52, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
