Question by hadi: Why is my article being rejected by wikipedia?
My article is falling under the “speedy deletion” criteria (A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content). The article is actually about a company, has plenty of relevant sources and even has plenty of citations from high PR pages.
I even tried placing the {{hang on}} tag. then I wrote a dispute on the mytalk page, yet still within 60 seconds, the article is deleted.
Can anyone help?
Just for reference, here is my article:

You can’t say “being the first to use this technology has granted them the award” – that doesn’t make sense. Clearly, *SME Advisor* granted them the award. So, that should read more like this: “Soon after their launch in 2010, SME Advisor granted Shifra their prestigious ‘Stars of Business’ Industry Achievement Award for construction and real estate, for being the first vendor to provide Z-Wave wireless technology to residential homes in the Middle East.”
Once you get that corrected, along with your overuse of Initial Caps Where They Don’t Belong, I’m sure Wikipedians will welcome your highly neutral and non-subjective encyclopedia article with open arms!

I just can’t understand it, hadi. You’d think that most of those Wikipedia people would welcome such a useful, informative article being hosted on their awful forum, or whatever it is. I tell you, if I ever moved to Dubai it’s just the sort of info I’d be looking for on the net, for all my Home Automation Solutions Provider needs. There’s no doubt about it – if you’re looking for control systems for lighting, appliances, air conditioning, motorized curtains, infrared systems, security systems, video surveillance, multi-room audio & video, and home theater systems then Shifra Smart Homes is *the* one-stop shop to go to for a professional, award-winning service.
The only thing you can really do is keep on uploading the article using as many different account names as you can until they allow it in. You could also try PM’ing those editors who are deleting it and perhaps Jimbo Wales himself and arrange for them to visit your home to view what Shifra Smart Homes have done for you. After all, who could fail to be impressed by the Z-Wave wireless standard, inter-operable, secure, 2-way, wireless mesh based technology fitted throughout your home-environment? No-one, that’s who. Good luck, hadi.

You need to learn the difference between Wikipedia and the Yellow Pages, or the difference between Wikipedia and a billboard.
