Thanks for your note, which I have reproduced below for your convenience. Please remember to sign your comments using four tildes.

I just wrote the Acorn Designs, LLC page and you deleted it. This is my first page and I was adding marterial as I go. Can I correct/complete this page and add it later or does there need to be a new titled article? Is there a template I can download and use and then upload? Thanks for any assistance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AcornDesigns (talk • contribs) 05:54, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You've asked about templates for a new article -- you may want to read the material at Wikipedia:Your first article for some guidance. I looked at the deleted article and it had a number of problems which made it unsuitable as the subject of a Wikipedia article. First, I assume that you're creating this article on behalf of your own company. That's considered a conflict of interest here (you can click on the link to find out more about the specific policy). In general, if your company is sufficiently notable to be the subject of a Wikipedia article, someone else will be anxious to write it, and do so in a neutral way. The second problem is that the article had no references or sources. Every Wikipedia article must contain reliable expert third-party sources that assert the notability of the topic in a verifiable way. In this case, what would be required is references to articles written by experts in books and magazines that state that Acorn Designs is a better company than other companies that do the same thing (but not blogs, forum postings, etc., which aren't considered reliable sources). And finally, if you circumvent those problems, you also have to consider Wikipedia's policy against advertising, which is something that all articles about companies have to deal with. I hope this helps you understand the relevant policy; it may be that you'll have to accept that your company is not a suitable subject for a Wikipedia article. If I can be of any further assistance with Wikipedia policy, leave me another note. Accounting4Taste:talk 15:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
