Public Strategies Group

Thanks for your note. I have attached the entire content of the deleted article (which I deleted approximately 14 months ago, so pardon me if I've forgotten the details): "The Public Strategies Group (PSG) is a consulting firm based in St Paul, MN which specializes in designing creative solutions for those public organizations that want to delight their customers with outstanding service at reasonable prices. PSG is a pioneer firm in the practice of post-bureaucratic government. The firm was founded by Babak Armajani and Peter Hutchinson in 1991." This article has a number of problems, the most crucial of which is that it doesn't have any references to testify to any of these statements so that they may be verified. There are some vague assertions of notability but nothing that stands out as a strong assertion of that quality. And finally, there are instances of peacock words that move this article from the area of fact to that of advertising. I doubt anyone would be able to provide believable documentation that the company's customers include public organizations that have "delighted" their customers, for instance, and "outstanding" service and "reasonable" prices are pretty much a matter of opinion. If you want to start from scratch, you don't need any permission from me, although I would suggest that you look at a number of very basic documents that explain how Wikipedia works and what is required; these would be WP:Your first article, WP:Why was my article deleted? and our conflict of interest policy, just in case; and all the links in this note to specific policy areas. I've placed a standard welcome message above, which will give you access to useful tools. If there's something further I can do to be of assistance, let me know.
