Hi Yolande, thanks for message. I deleted your article because  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:14, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
 * the article was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. This is not the case with the AR Labs website from which the text was copied. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. The text appeared to be sourced only to the organisation itself.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Yours was written in the first person as if it was your organisation own page, rather than an encyclopaedia article. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: The AR Lab welcomes students, artists, researchers, museums, festivals, and anyone else who needs help or advice... contributing in this way to a wider use and understanding of novel visualisation techniques by fine art artists and students... We do this by aid &mdash; there are more, but since it's copied anyway, no point listing everything
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
