This is your last warning.
The next time you delete or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Ibend.info, you will be blocked from editing. As it stands, this article is blatant advertising. If you remove the deletion tag again and refuse to go through the proper channels to contest the nomination, you will be reported for disruptive edits.

[edit] Conflict of Interest

As you state on your user page that your the owner of the IBend website, might I suggest you review Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest policy? WP:COI. If IBend is notable enough to have an entry, it should be made by someone other than the owner of the company, in order to maintain a neutral point of view. Thank you.

There is also the problem that, as a brand new site, it is highly unlikely that there are reliable, independent, third party sources that can be used to establish notability. Also, I am afraid that I agree the article was self-promotional, even though you did a decent job of using neutral tone in the article. Resolute 05:16, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
