Articles related to the Galvin Electricity Initiative
Hi, I've recently removed significant portions of text you've added for articles relating to the Galvin Electricity Initiative. As you're probably aware, most of this text was a direct copy from galvinpower.org. Aside from potential copyright problems with using this text, it generally reads as marketing material/corporate biographies. While this style of writing is appropriate for the corporate Website, it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia.

Some of the content will likely not be appropriate for an article, however if this is a notable enough corporation (and at first glance, it seems like it might be), then there is probably plenty of content that can be added. The key is that it be original writing based off of a verifiable, reliable source, especially ones that are independent of the company itself.

If there's anything I can help with or questions I can answer, please let me know.

Speedy deletion of Galvin Electricity Initiative
A tag has been placed on Galvin Electricity Initiative, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ 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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
