Red Flush Casino[edit]

If you click on the "redlink" Draft:Red Flush Casino it will show you who deleted it - user DragonflySixtyseven (talk) - and why. That is the person you should ask about restoring it.

However, I can give you some background. Although it is not made as clear as it should be to new users, Wikipedia is not a place for people or companies to tell the world about themselves. There are sites like Facebook for that, but an encyclopedia is different. As you refer to "our customers" you are evidently connected with the Casino, and that means that you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, see also the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide - in brief, you should not edit directly, but may submit a draft, as indeed you have done.

One reason why COI editing is discouraged is that, with the best intentions, people close to a subject find it hard to avoid writing promotionally. For instance, you say that you have "not used any promotional language", but I see words like "award winning... well-known... prestigious... " More generally, the whole article is very obviously Red Flush Casino telling the world the story it wants the world to hear, the sort of material you would put on your own website; but an encyclopedia article should be a description from outside. That will be hard for you to do, but there is good advice from a very experienced Wikipedian at User:Uncle G/On notability#Writing about subjects close to you:

When writing about subjects that are close to you, don't use your own personal knowledge of the subject, and don't cite yourself, your web site, or the subject's web site. Instead, use what is written about the subject by other people, independently, as your sources. Cite those sources in your very first edit. If you don't have such sources, don't write.
