Thank you for your feedback on the AlwaysBeSmile page deletion

Dear C.Fred,

I appreciate the work you do in maintaining the quality and integrity of the platform. I understand that the **AlwaysBeSmile** page was deleted due to the G11 guideline regarding unambiguous advertising or promotion. I apologize if the content I submitted came across as promotional in nature.

I am committed to ensuring that the page is aligned with the platform's guidelines. To that end, I plan to revise the content to meet the standards for neutrality, verifiability, and reliable sourcing. If you have any specific suggestions or concerns, I would greatly appreciate your guidance to avoid similar issues in the future.

Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to working within the platform's guidelines to ensure the page meets the necessary criteria.

Sincerely, AlwaysBeSmile
