Virtual Ventures Article

I have a problem with the speedy deletion of the Virtual Ventures article;

G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion.

• Point One, the article contained only a not-for-profit box with basic encyclopedic information. Between the creation and deletion of the article elapsed about twelve hours which overlapped when the majority of people in the eastern time zone sleep. This is no where near enough time for us to contact and create a page which outlines our many accomplishments and historical events that have touched the youth of Ottawa.

• Point Two, G11, by nature, would include ANY BUSINESS PAGE ON WIKIPEDIA. It is ambiguous in meaning and needs to be fundamentally rewritten to carry any meaning at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcampbe (talk • contribs) 15:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Jcampbe!

What I recommend is two things:

1. Read our conflict of interest policy. My reading of your comments makes me think that you are intimately involved in Virtual Ventures in some way, and therefor are not necessarily the best person to be writing an article with a neutral point of view.
2. If you feel you really must create the article yourself, try writing it in your own userspace. You can then refine the article to good status before moving it into the main articlespace.

Hope that helps! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:23, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
