A tag has been placed on Service Provider Protection Bureau requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- R OGER D AVIES  TALK 17:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Response - Notability of Service Provider Protection Bureau
This organization is exactly like the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce, which are both included on Wikipedia. I intend to expand the article the more that I learn about the organization. My interest began when I saw someone from the organization on MSNBC and took notice that there was no Wiki listing. ANy tips on improving it? >TALK 23:58, 24 September 2007 (EST)


 * Read the notability requirements and add references from reliable third-party sources (newspapers and magazines basically) for each statement that may be contested. In the meantime, I've restored the tags as you are not supposed to take these off yourself. I've copied these messages to the article's talk page. -- R OGER D AVIES   TALK 06:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sppblogo2.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Sppblogo2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
