Speedy deletion nomination of College success foundation


A tag has been placed on College success foundation, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, 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. (See section A7 of 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cyan Gardevoir (used EDIT!) 00:57, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for email. Obviously if you recreate the article with the same content, it will be deleted for the same reasons as first time around. I deleted your article because I hope this helps,  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:07, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: The vision of the foundation... unique integrated system... tremendous discrepancy in college graduation rates... Over the past twelve years CSF has provided over $ 140 million in scholarships to more than 7,700 students... encourages schools to create cultures of high academic achievement while providing scholarship support to select college-bound students..
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Now, given the size of the Gates donation, it probably is notable, but you need proper references, preferably in-line, and ideally you need to tell us a bit more about the organisation, I get no sense of how many employees or income (other than the Gates money)
 * I checked the foundation's website to see if there was any copyright violation, since web content cannot be used, even pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. I didn't find obvious violation, but you obviously used this as an unacknowledged source, which is OK for pure fact, but not for opinions, since it's clearly not an independent source.
 * I want to recreate this page with the same content from before as it was approved by the organization, in which I am an alumni of and a former employee. &mdash; You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * If you do recreate with neutral, referenced text, it will help your readers if you use in-line references. Also use wikilinks, eg 501(c) organization, Issaquah, Washington, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Gary Locke.
