Speedy deletion nomination of Charity Sports Distributor


A tag has been placed on Charity Sports Distributor 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.  GILO  A& E&uArr;  17:22, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

CSD
On the talk page you wrote "other organizations known as "CSD" which are arguably lesser known and of lesser importance are included in Wikipedia". That's not a useful argument, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; many existing articles are not at the standard we would wish, but that is not an argument for admitting more, and each is considered on its merits. Your article just said that the company exists, and linked its website: there was nothing there to show that it is well-known or important.

Wikipedia is not a business listing directory. Its test for inclusion is called Notability and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it important or significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary).

If you want to try again, read WP:Your first article for advice, collect independent references, and use WP:Articles for creation to guide you through the process. If you are connected with the company, read WP:PSCOI and note that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4) to disclose your interest.
