Congregation articles
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Its good to see someone new adding to the Mennonite content of Wikipedia. My experience leads me to believe that the articles on individual congregations you are creating are likely to be deleted because they are not notable enough for Wikipedia. There are some things you can do to improve their chances of remaining. First, you need to indicate why each congregation is notable in some way. This will prevent the article from being "speedy deleted", a process where an article can be removed quickly without discussion. The second step is to document this notability using a source or reference that is independent of the congregation or conference. This will help prevent it from being nominated for deletion or help a deletion discussion move toward a favorable outcome.

This may not be possible, and you shouldn't be surprised or discouraged if someone nominates all of the congregation articles for deletion. As a precaution, you should save a copy of the content of each of those articles, because they can be included in the main CMC article if individual articles are deleted.

I hope you stay and keep working on the CMC article, the Russian Mennonite article and such. There is still a lot of the general information that needs to be expanded and corrected. Ask if you have any questions about editing on Wikipedia. ✤ JonHarder talk 18:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
