G11

Although it may have not been your intent, your article read like an advertisement. On Wikipedia, we have a policy in which advertising/spam is subject to on-sight deletion under speedy deletion criterion G11. Please note that articles nominated for deletion are judged on their own merit, and not in comparison to other articles. You are welcome to resubmit your article, but please ensure that the revised text is compliant with the policies and guidelines described at WP:ADS, WP:MOS, WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:POV, and WP:GNG; otherwise, you run the risk of having the article deleted again. Once you have resubmitted your article, you may find the help desk useful; the help desk noticeboard has many editors who are more than willing to give you constructive criticism on your article and/or help edit your article.

G12
