You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Matari advertising, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Advice: promotion, verifiability and notability

I am sorry you are having a difficult time, but you are learning about Wikipedia, which I guess is one of your instructor's objectives in setting this task.

As explained in the notice above, there are two reasons why your article is being deleted:

• Promotion. Your article reads like the company telling the world about itself, full of glowing phrases like "burning with fiery passion and simmering with bright ideas" and "one of the iconic figure in Indonesian advertising", and listing all their clients. That is fine for their own website, but not for a Wikipedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Your should not be writing for the company, setting out their view of themselves; you should be writing for Wikipedia about the company, from outside, giving no opinions, only plain facts, neutrally stated and referenced to reliable sources. The Wikipedia:Verifiability policy requires that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source"

• Notability. Your only references are primary sources, the company's Facebook and LinkedIn pages and its own site; but Wikipedia has an inclusion criterion called Wikipedia:Notability which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See WP:Notability (summary) and WP:Notability (organizations and companies) for more detail.

One reason for requiring independent references is that they provide impartial sources on which an independent article can be based. As I said above, Wikipedia is not here just to repeat the company's story about itself.

Promotional material is speedily-deleted anywhere in Wikipedia, even in sandboxes; rather than delete your sandbox article, I have cut it back to a basic stub. In expanding that, remember WP:Verifiability; when adding any claim, imagine a hostile critic looking over your shoulder saying "Who says? Can you prove that?" There is good advice in 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."

I know you aren't "close to" this subject, but that advice is still the best way to write a neutral article. If you cannot find enough independent sources, that throws doubt on whether the company is notable enough to have an article.

As long as you don't make it promotional, this sandbox should not be speedily deleted. If you want the article to be part of the main encyclopedia, when it is ready click "Click here" in the box at the top, which will send it to WP:Articles for creation, where an experienced user will assess it and either accept it or give you feedback.
