Speedy deletion nomination of Chernobyl Child Aid

A tag has been placed on Chernobyl Child Aid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please read WP:MFA before you attempt to create that article again. You might be blocked otherwise. XXX antiuser ^eh? 21:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's good advice: read the advice in that link carefully. What you have to demonstrate is notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of subjective opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases. If you are connected with the organisation, see also WP:NOBBLE, WP:COI and WP:BESTCOI. JohnCD (talk) 21:30, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- All the advice you need is in the paragraph above; click on the links in it and read the advice there. In particular, read WP:Your first article carefully. I will only add that "they have a page so we should" is not a useful argument - see WP:WAX - the question is whether this organisation meets Wikipedia's requirements.
