Shameless Idealists
I see you've recreated the article anyway in your sandbox, so there's no point in me reposting it. Here are some suggestions I hope this helps  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:59, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
 * There shouldn't be any url links in text, I've moved the home page link to an external links section.
 * Your references are poorly formatted, which isn't a crime, but they make a better impression if the look neater. I've fixed the Nelly Furtado link, but you ought to do the others (read below first!)
 * You need to provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you have lots of refs on the new version, self-created sources like wordpress, Facebook and blogs are valueless, and YouTube refs are particularly dubious. They usually only confirm that someone has done something, not why it matters, and they are either self-editable or linked to copyright material &mdash; in the latter case, they may be deleted.
 * A couple of good independent sources would be better than all the low quality refs you have. Any mention in major Canadian (or US) newspapers? Anything in Canadian TV news broadcasts?
 * Your claim of notability would be helped if you could give something to back it up, other than that it features notable people. What are the viewing figures? Any independent indication of whether it's actually helped increase donations?
 * It's written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: who are creating positive social change... candid... world's most intriguing optimists and idealists... seven idealists &mdash; it reads like a press release rather than an encyclopaedia article
 * You need to fix the CTV link
