Speedy deletion nomination of The Three Percent movement


A tag has been placed on The Three Percent movement 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 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. red dog six (talk) 21:56, 30 March 2014 (UTC)


 * With any luck review can take place of all these interrelated pages, and with even more luck those deciding will visit here, see this link and be able to make a blanket decision on all pages. It looks like someone else visited and added categories to one of the pages and I went ahead and kept the categories since they seemed like they might work. I *strongly* recommend finding a way to improve the pages rather than deleting them. This page is referenced by the page whose deletion I am contesting, case against deletion is the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Three_Percent_movement#Contested_deletion --Jay Riley (talk) 00:52, 31 March 2014 (UTC)


 * That really is a shame that you chose to hastily this. I spent several hours looking for information on this subject (is notable part of the ongoing discussion in our society about the role of the 2nd amendment in modern American society, and the absence of any mention of the small but vocal "III%" movement here on wikipedia seemed an oversight). I respect the right of the site owner to administer it as they see fit, but do believe there is an *unconscious* bias on the part of those administering the site. I suspect most members of the team have not performed any military service or lack strong connection to the U.S. Armed Forces (whether good or bad it would explain the perception on the part of wikipedia admin that the subject is "non-notable". Since frustrations and setbacks often lead to new ideas and social paradigms, perhaps this will ultimately have a positive effect by channeling my volunteer site contributions and meager site donations towards sites where they will be of greater use.

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with The Three Percent movement. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. red dog six (talk) 23:53, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
 * When I did a preview without the tag it still showed it as pending delete and I had already contested it on the talk page. Did not realize the tag was still needed for processing, but from what I've read of the Mediawiki source that makes sense (the single best clutter-free PHP project I've thumbed through so far). I'll leave the tags alone pending review. --Jay Riley (talk) 00:42, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Yes, but let me add the link here. My contributions today all stemmed from a dearth of information on Nyberg Flag. All interconnected, all as timely and socially relevant as discussions on "Occupy movement" even if their numbers are smaller, fewer of them blog, and even fewer have iPhones.
