Speedy deletion of British Columbia Technology Industry Association
A tag has been placed on British Columbia Technology Industry Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:43, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of British Columbia Technology Industry Association
I have nominated British Columbia Technology Industry Association, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/British Columbia Technology Industry Association. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

 * As you've probably noticed an article you created has been nominated for deletion. ;-) Our basic inclusion guideline can be seen at WP:NOTABILITY, and even though I've looked for reliable sources that cover the topic in detail I've only found press releases and trivial coverage, so I too don't think that it warrants having an encyclopaedic article about it. If you think that it passes WP:NOTABILITY, could you come to the discussion and comment, or add a reference to the article? Cheers, Amalthea Talk 20:24, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about that, you did nothing wrong, quite to the contrary. I've looked at the references you added by the way, and the one at BC Stats isn't bad, but in the end it's still just a trivial mention. If they are quoted often in government papers that could very well bring them past WP:NOTABILITY. -- Amalthea Talk 22:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, you're welcome. You seem to catch on amazingly fast, but if you do have questions feel free to ask, as I said. And let me commend you for being so WP:CIVIL even though your first article was nominated for deletion so quickly. :) Cheers, Amalthea Talk 23:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
