 * If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

I'm sorry. You received a poor review. There was some point to it in that the references do feel promotional, but it passes our criteria in my view. Please centime continue to improve the article and do not be put off. Fiddle  Faddle  10:50, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I really appreciate your taking the time from a backlogged AfC to review my case. I will endeavor to improve the quality of the text and references. Thank you! Bodicacia (talk) 15:48, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You may find it useful to study Wikipedia's best articles about non-profits. Take Seacology, for instance. Note the absence of an Awards and honors section (except awards given by Seacology). That section in Red Paw comes across as promotional and giving undue weight to things that, although Red Paw may be proud of them and grateful for them, are really fairly minor. Also note how, by including sections Finances and Leadership, the Seacology article is more well rounded. Other good example articles include Living River Siam, Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore, Operation USA, and The Scout Association. You can browse Good articles to find more.

 * Thank you, WorldBruce, for the excellent examples and advice! These will be invaluable for my next revision (in which I will also strike the Awards section -- I'd thought the recognition of Philadelphia's residents and officials might bolster this org's Notability quotient, but quite the opposite it would seem). Thanks again, Bodicacia (talk) 19:38, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I think you deserve a little explanation of how we are intended to review drafts. Our broad criteria are that it should stand a better than 60% (some say 50%, but I strive for the higher figure) chance of surviving a deletion discussion at the point it is accepted. As you may imagine, acceptance is not a guarantee of survival, which is why we hope for continuous improvement, and not only by the contributing editor.
 * Once to is as good as you can get it, walk away from it and let it take its chances in the wild. Be its father, not its mother. Fiddle   Faddle  20:28, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * An interesting turn of phrase! I don't plan to hover. I just hope to spruce it up a bit more (add the logo and leadership info) and give it a decent start in life. Thanks for all your valuable help and advice, Bodicacia (talk) 23:52, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Thank you, MahenSingha. I'm just relieved to have made it out of AfC. I learned a great deal in the process, but see I have much more to learn. Bodicacia (talk) 21:16, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
