Hey, I took a look at your article draft here, and it's my understanding that you want this to become an article in mainspace. Currently, there's a few problems with that. I'll try to explain them to you.

• First off, it's written like an advertisement. Articles on Wikipedia need to be written from a neutral point of view (see here). It's important that articles contain only verifiable facts, not points of view or opinions of the writer. Articles that come across as promoting the subject are usually deleted. For more information, see this link.
• Secondly, all articles have notability guidelines to meet, and the article must contain information that proves the notability of the subject. Companies and organisations have their own notability guidelines, found here. To sum it up: "A company is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject."
• That leads us to sourcing. All the information and facts presented in articles must be backed up with a reliable source. Check the link to see what kind of sources are considered reliable. Primary sources, like a company's own website, are almost never reliable. Reliable sources are the most important ingredient in a Wikipedia article, without any an article almost certainly will not be kept. (A guide on adding references is here.)
• Lastly, you may want to check out the manual of style for how to lay out articles.

I think the best way to figure all this stuff out is to look at other Wikipedia articles on companies. Look at the way they are worded and the kind of sources they use. Please do take the time to read the links in this message, they'll be a great help if you want to create an article about a company. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you have questions. ^OohBunnies! Leave a message :) 06:28, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

I think the manual of style is a bit large for anyone to look over. This section is probably the one to look over for now. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 15:37, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
