This article makes my week.
I generally feel we should blank articles more and delete them less,
but this is an area where the explicit rebuff of deletion has its
advantages.

Excellent piece. Especially the close about how
it's a difficult position
for PR professionals to report to the client that the article was deleted.

PR consultants should think twice before using Wikipedia to promote clients
March 31, 2010
Leicestershire, UK (RPRN) 03/31/10 — PR consultants are being advised
to think twice before incorporating Wikipedia entries into campaign
strategies after the site started cracking down on articles submitted
by any public relations agency it considered to be using its resource
to promote clients.
(muwahaha. Spotted by Mathias Schindler. The article sets out en:wp's
rationales and likely actions very well indeed.)
