Speedy deletion nomination of Orange County Democratic Party
A tag has been placed on Orange County Democratic Party requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 18:26, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Orange County Democratic Party
Hi Emily. I found your article on the Orange County Democratic Party and added some formatting to it. I also found one statement to be a bit ambiguous - it says the group is the third-largest community of Democrats in the county, but did you maybe mean in the nation? I raised the point on the article's discussion page in case you want to reply.

Also, I restored the notability and unsourced tags which you removed. I can understand your desire to see them removed from the article, but the best way to keep them off is to address the problem directly by finding some sources to establish notability. The pages on notability, notability of organisations and reliable sources are probably helpful and I'd recommend reading them. Note in particular that we require sources which are independent of the subject, so news articles or the like as opposed to its own website, and which give significant coverage.

Let me know if you have any questions or there's anything I can do to help. Olaf Davis (talk) 14:43, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
