Spam in Accion USA
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Accion USA, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Accion USA is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Accion USA, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:29, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Help on articles
You asked me about deleting an article and for help, and I wanted to clear up a few things: I didn't delete the article, I tagged it for deletion. An admin found the tag to be valid, and deleted it. Any editor (like you, or me) and tag an article that doesn't meet the criteria here. I would suggest finding a Wikipedia article for a similar company or non profit, one that has no tags, and use the design as a starting point. The key is that an article is NOT just a "This is a company, you can reach their website at www.wtf.com".

The main company, Accion International is barely an article. You might try first staring a section there about Accion USA, then gather some actual citations from reputable 3rd parties to justify the claims made. Then talk about the mission, the accomplishments, etc. but back it with the citations. I can claim I am the strongest man in the world, but unless you heard it from other people YOU know and/or trust, you wouldn't believe it. 3rd party verification is the foundation of any encyclopedia.

 * I see you readded the article that was speedy deleted. I don't have a choice but to request a speedy delete again.  Pharmboy 23:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)


 * One last note, continuing to add the same article that was already deleted may be considered vandalism. You can't just keep adding the same article until you hope no one notices.  Pharmboy 00:03, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
