Welcome to Wikipedia. You might want to read over some of the guidelines to help make sure that your pages are not deleted. Please note also that you are not supposed to recreate a page that has been deleted unless you have changed the page to meet the objections (and if you don't know what the objections were, ask the admins). I saw the page you had created for Sefi, and it reads too much like an advertisement. You might want to try to clean it up to be more neutral and independent so that it is not deleted again. Good luck! Karanacs (talk) 21:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sefi
A tag has been placed on Sefi 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 a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

LS, SEFI is definitly a non profit organisation. It is a society aiming to promote engineering education in Europe. It is similar to the American EE association ASEE which is well referenced in WIKIpedia and related to the studetn organisation BEST, also well referenced. I do not understand why people remove this page from WIKIPEDIA and I do not agree with the removal. Can someone explain to me how to make sure this pages stays on? GraaffErik

Sefi
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sefi, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of the page.

Re: Sefi
I deleted Sefi as WP:CSD: a broken redirect. The page was a redirect that pointed to a non-existent page. I made no judgment (and will make no judgment) about the validity of the organization. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 13:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Sefi
A tag has been placed on Sefi, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

SEFI
If you are the one proposing to delete the SEFI entry from WIKIPEDIA, please explain to me why. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GraaffErik (talk • contribs) 15:14, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * You might want to have a look at your own talk page, as the person in question already left you a response there. My addition to the article was leaving a cleanup message, as it looked like it REALLY needed a cleanup (Have you examined the looks of the article after you created it? It was quite messy, to be honest) :) -- Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 15:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
