Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Homestead Book Company

Dear Wiki Decision Makers: Deleting the Homestead page is so extreme. I can understand making edits to the material, but to totally remove the article on the grounds that it might be too much like an advertisement. Exactly what language needs to be softened? I personally worked at Homestead Book Company in the 1970's. This is why I looked for an article, found none and now I attempt to get something out on Wiki about this historical book distribution company in Seattle. Is it possible that I list myself as a reference and be considered credible (as I did develop the article-that seems to be just … my opinion) if I make a quote about "the fact" of Homestead existing then and now. I know as a first hand observer, Homestead distributed underground comics as a book distributor to shops in the Seattle area in the 1970's.

 * Wikipedia conventions can be confusing. The conventional way to express an opinion about an article proposed for deletion is to comment on the "project page," which is this case is Articles for deletion/Homestead Book Company. The biggest problem this article currently faces seems to be an absence of evidence that reliably sources independent of the subject matter have documented the article's topic. If you have good sources to cite, that could help! --Orlady (talk) 19:34, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
