Hello, Cgm101, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:Curve (company) draft page, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
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 "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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello Cgm101. Your edits look as if you are being paid. Paid promotion is an especially egregious type of conflict of interest (COI) Paid articles should be submitted through the articles for creation process. If you are receiving or expect to receive money for your edits, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post the disclosure on your user page at User:Cgm101. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cgm101|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being paid, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. — fortunavelut luna19:04, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there @Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi:, many thanks for reviewing the page I created and edited - Curve (company). You tagged the article for speedy deletion and it was subsequently removed - please note I had forgotten to disclose it as a paid contribution. The company, Curve, is my employer, although I am not being paid specifically for creating the page - we felt it should be created because the company is now notable, has received significant media coverage over the past two years, and has over 75,000 customers. A number of similar-sized companies in the sector are already documented with live pages on Wikipedia, which are more promotional and not as well cited. I'm new as a Wikipedia contributor and would love to learn - I had hoped the page content was sufficiently neutral and backed by citations, but please do let me know which of the content was not factual enough. If you could please reinstate the draft page, I will update with the paid disclosure. Many thanks Cgm101 (talk) 11:19, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @RHaworth:, please note request above to reinstate the page draft:Curve (Company) which you deleted, after it was tagged for speedy deletion. The company is notable, legitimate and the article is neutral and well-cited, but I need the draft reinstated in order to disclose it as a paid contribution (apologies for not doing so first time round). Thanks! --Cgm101 (talk) 11:35, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
