If you have a conflict of interest with this topic, you must declare it. How you do so depends whether you are connection is in a paid role or not, I'll advise further when you respond. Please read the guidance below:
 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Your refs are bare urls, and it's difficult to see why, for example, WYSO is an independent source when it's basically an interview with a radio ham saying things that are not otherwise verified.
 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. You don't really give us any facts to show notability. You say national and international association. It is the largest predominately Black amateur radio association in the United States..., but there is nothing to support any part of that claim. You don't give membership figures, it's not clear to me if membership  is free, but if it isn't, there should be some income and expenditure to report. Being a worthy cause isn't in itself, enough for notability.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. I've seen worse, but there is certainly a promotional tone to the "OMIK Today£" section.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. Your page was a significant copy of this which is not free to use. For legal reasons we do not normally restore copyright violations.

There may be a way forward on this, but first you need to clarify any COI, and also make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Otherwise it won't get an article. Let me know Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
