Firstly, many rules in OSM are not written down. Just because there's no policy that says "don't do X" doesn't mean that X is welcome in OSM, or that someone who got their X deleted has a legitimate basis for a complaint. The current situation with written rules is that http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:description says "Never use description=* to add advertising messages.", and more generally our "How We Map" rules (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_We_Map) say that what you add must be truthful and verifiable, both of which is rarely the case for advertising.
