Speedy deletion nomination of National Society of American Descendants
Hello BC Ernest,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged National Society of American Descendants for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Libby norman (talk) 10:57, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Your talk page comments about deletion of National Society of Amercian Descendants
Hi BC Ernest, I read through your comments and understand that you are upset, however I flagged it for deletion – and it was subsequently deleted by an administrator – because there was no evidence of notability. On Wikipedia, all articles must have third-party references from reliable sources. If you look at some of the organisations you mention, you will see that they are referenced – for instance Daughters of the American Revolution has 25 references. Clearly, a newer organisation may struggle to have so many but – as a guide – you should be looking for at least three independent references. I've placed a Welcome message at the top of this page that provides useful guidance on creating articles for Wikipedia and hope that proves useful. Libby norman (talk) 09:09, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
