A tag has been placed on First Advantage Data Recovery, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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 the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Response to your message
Hi there, thanks for the message. Your article on First Advantage Data Recovery Services was deleted because it was primarily written as an advertisement, summarizing company facts and services. Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue for such material because it is an encyclopedia. I do understand that many other such articles remain, but the burden lies on the community of editors to notice and delete those articles; frankly, it is hard to get to them all.

My best advice to you, if you want to recreate your article, is to read our guidelines for notability of companies, located at Notability (organizations and companies). This page explains what criteria companies have to meet to have an article. Even more important is to read Verifiability. In short, the claims you make about the company have to be backed up by reliable, independent sources. This usually takes the form of independent news articles (NOT press releases) written about the company.

I hope this answers your questions. Thanks -- Spike Wilbury  19:57, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
