Someone has located the article - it was "Angel.com" and I have userfied it for you to User:Socialmedia2011/Angel.com. Because it was recreated several times in 2009, this title was salted - protected from creation - by user Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry ( talk), so his permission will be needed before the article can be restored to the main space.
It seems from your user page and your conversations with Phearson that you are willing to learn and are approaching Wikipedia in the right spirit, but I should like to emphasise that the Wikipedia community is extremely resistant to the encyclopedia being used for any kind of promotion, and is deeply suspicious of paid editing of any kind. As long as you suggest changes rather than make yourself, declare your interest, and don't push, you should find people helpful - see WP:BESTCOI. The main difficulty professional PR people seem to have is that they are unable to switch off a promotional style and to avoid "peacock terms". (Last month someone told me "This is written with no promotional tone" about his article which included "phenomenally successful... obsessive and extensive knowledge of fashion design... revered for his rare ability... an arbiter of taste... his inventive images... ") You should imagine a hostile critic looking over your shoulder saying, at every claim you make, "Who says so? Can you prove it?" and need to make a positive effort to put out of your mind any idea that you are writing for your client. You are writing for Wikipedia, about your client, from outside.
WP:Corporations and the Community and WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide are worth reading carefully. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 20:44, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks JohnCD and Phearson ! I'm getting cracking. Socialmedia2011 ( talk) 15:40, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Just as a suggestion, try writing as if you are writing a research paper, and follow WP:MOS. Phearson ( talk) 04:38, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi! I would like to inform you that the Articles for Creation submission which was previously located here: User:Socialmedia2011/Angel.com has been moved to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Angel.com, this move was made automatically and doesn't affect your article, if you have any questions please ask on my talk page! Have a nice day. ArticlesForCreationBot ( talk) 21:15, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
From User talk:Phearson in regards to your AfC, it was a success. Phearson ( talk) 01:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for helping Wikipedia!
Alpha_Quadrant (talk) 00:35, 12 November 2011 (UTC)I have undeleted WP:Articles for creation/OrderUp. I agree with Kafziel, though, that the draft's tone is unduly promotional; in particular I'd say the repeated use of "allows" in the services section reads like something straight from their PR department. Also, the draft is rather short on hard facts such as revenues, the number of employees or the number of franchisees. That would be more important than details on what their mobile app looks like.

Hello! Socialmedia2011,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the
Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the
Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

Hello Tracy, looks like OrderUp is definitely wikiNotable to me. I can try and help you fix up the WP:TONE so that the article is neutral, if you like. Please leave a message on my talkpage when you have time. Sorry about the rough time you are having with pushback from a few of the other wikipedians here... they are hyperconscious and worried nowadays, because of recent events, which have nothing to do with you. Please accept my apologies; they are acting in good faith, but that doesn't mean they are correct on the merits, this time around. And while I'm here, thanks for improving wikipedia, it's appreciated. 74.192.84.101 ( talk) 16:58, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Thanks for uploading File:Orderup logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 ( talk) 18:58, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
