[edit] Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. See WP:N for an explanation of what that means. Follow the links below to learn more:
- To find out more about creating articles, read the introduction, tutorial, and Guide to creating your first article.
- Do not write articles about yourself, your company, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
- Wikipedia is not an advertising service.

[edit] United Global Artists
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article United Global Artists, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. JohnCD 20:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
Normally, I would have marked this article for speedy deletion as advertising, but since you have asked for advice I have instead used the "proposed deletion" procedure which allows five days. On the notice I have asked anyone else to add comments on its talk page.
Your problem is, Wikipedia isn't a sort of business directory where anyone can list their business. To get in, something needs to be notable, meaning of enough general interest to appear in an encyclopedia - see WP:NOTE and for businesses WP:ORG. Also, articles must be written from a neutral point of view: if you are connected with the business, you are not qualified to put in entries about it - that is a conflict of interest. Basically, unless your business is important/interesting enough for someone outside, not you or your PR or advertising agents, to want to write an entry about it, it probably doesn't qualify. I will put this comment on the article's talk page, and you and anyone else who sees the article can add theirs. JohnCD 20:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
