A tag has been placed on Template:Db-spam, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:Template:Db-spam|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Prod concern: There are notable organisations that share this as part of their name. I am unable to find, however, a reliable source discussing the general structure of such organisations. This is not surprising, as there are no particular legal restrictions, no mandated structure; it is not even restricted to state-level organisations, as some city- and county- level organisations of widely varying function also have this as part of their name. In the end, its just a collection of three words that some organisations working in economic development - and that too in a non-mainstream sense - tend to use.
