Talk:Impact self defense

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it was created to contest "Impact Self Defense"'s association with Model Mugging. Both organizations are meant to empower women and promote self defense but Model Mugging encountered a number of unsavory PR incidents in the early 90s (http://books.google.com/books?id=AecDAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false) p44. I'm very much a beginner in terms of creating a Wikipedia entry but I wanted to create a new entry to clarify any differences between the 2 organizations. Please do not delete! --Impactbayarea (talk) 00:11, 2 May 2015 (UTC)Impact Bay Area
 * The problem is that you used material from this website, which was written to promote ISD. Not only is that a copyright violation (regardless of whether or not you were personally given permission to use the text), but you also don't show how this particular form of self defense is notable per WP:GNG. It does seem to exist, but existing is not something that would give notability in and of itself. (WP:ITEXISTS) You need to show where the group has received coverage in independent and reliable sources. We can't really justify creating a separate article for ISD unless this coverage is available, regardless of whether or not Model Mugging has received bad publicity. At most we could probably delete the redirect if you can prove that this term is not used in relation to the organization. A quick search does seem to justify this and if you want, I can bring this up at WP:RfD. I do have to note that you need to change your username since it violates our username guidelines since it gives off the impression that you are editing on behalf of an organization. I'll post some information on your user page about this. I will have to block you, but that's mostly just to make sure that you look over the guidelines. I have no problem with you getting unblocked and changing your username, I just want to make sure that you note the various guidelines you'll have to be familiar with.
