I have nominated All By Students (ABS) Notebooks, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/All By Students (ABS) Notebooks. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

I thought I had addressed all the criteria you had posted last time. This is certainly not SPAM as it includes all factual material in the form of a company profile. It is a notable company as over a million college students receive notebooks from this company every semester and has been written up in respected media trade publications including Brandweek and MediaBuyerPlanner. It is certainly not an advertisement and if you think it is not objectively written, I do invite you change out any language that offends or seems advertise-y. I just plucked a lot of the language from articles that have been written about them. Obviously I am fairly new to contributing to Wikipedia, and would like help in making this page up to snuff instead of just a deletion. Thanks
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article
All By Students (ABS) Notebooks, you may have a
conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's
neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. This issue has been reported to the conflict of interest noticeboard for further investigation. I will also add that removing a {{ coi}} tag raises eyebrows that a user is trying to cover up a conflict of interest. MuZemike ( talk) 23:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
