This is a spinout from Luca A. Longobardi, which is also at AfD. I'm nominating this for the same reason as the first: This is a paid editing piece that was solicited by it's subject in violation of our conflict of interest guidelines and our policy that Wikipedia is not a medium for self-promotion. This page was developed through this job on elance.com in which the client "lucalongobardi" wrote looking to create a nice report story page on my company also I would like to attach my name as the founder of the company, to my wife name, that she´s already on wikipedia, and increase exposure on google. and also I would like to hire somebody that can increase my exposure and my company exposure on search engines. The service provider is "annaloza", the same account name as the single purpose account that signed up to create this. This should be deleted as a promotional puff piece of a nonnotable subject.

As I said on the previous page, I feel this topic is quite similar to others found on Wikipedia - company descriptions. I can edit it to be more in line with Wiki's standards, but I don't feel it deserves to be deleted. The guy hired me, yes, but I am a freelancer - I am here to put together words for people who feel they can't do so themselves. I don't feel he wanted this for "promotion" - rather because he felt his achievements and actions were notable. I don't think "solicitation" should be a factor here, and I do not feel this article is advertising in any way; in addition, it has several credible sources. Let me know what I can do to edit both of these (this and Luca A.) to closer match Wiki's standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annaloza (talk • contribs) 00:52, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, let me point out that although these are the only two articles I have contributed to Wiki thus far, I have had my account for three years prior to this and did not create it recently and solely for this purpose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Annaloza (talk • contribs) 00:54, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails notability from what I can see. Additionally, paying someone else to write an article about you or your business is the same as doing it yourself. If it is truely notable it will eventually get written about without paying. Turgan ^Talk 09:59, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it nobody really cares except the guy that paid for it and he doesn't count. 207.81.170.99 (talk) 06:33, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
