Speedy deletion of Open source NGO
A tag has been placed on Open source NGO 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 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 web content.

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), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. kelapstick (talk) 23:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Please don't recreate this. It simply does not meet the minimum notability requirements for inclusion. Thanks. PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Hello, John, I'm going to restore the article to one of your user subpages, at User:JohnBCoy13/Open source NGO. This way, you'll have the chance to continue working on the article without having to worry about it being deleted, allowing you to continue to work on it until it meets our standards for inclusion, at which time it can be moved back into the main article space. Once you think the article is ready to go, leave me a note and I'll help you get it posted again. Hope this helps! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 00:14, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi John, And welcome (again) to Wikipedia. I am willing to help you prepare the Open source NGO article if you would like. There are a few issues that I would like to bring up first though, and they should probably be the starting points. The first thing is the notability guidlines for companies and orgainzations that Hersfold had mentioned above. I strongly suggest you read that. Also you should read the reliable sources guideline to see what can be used to establish the notability of the organization. Once you have done that and found some reliable sources for your article, you are going to have to take a look at the content, right now it is very confusing, and it looks like the entire content was copied and pasted from somewhere, including e-mail correspondence. There are two issues here, the first is anything that is copied and pasted from a work that may be copyrighted is deleted quickly and without many questions as per the copyright violation policies we have here, the other is posting someones e-mail correspondence is not a good idea as they probably assume some degree of confidentiality when they send an email, besides that an e-mail does not belong in an encyclopedia article.

Having said all that, when you write the article you have to write it to describe what the subject is, not explain how to use it or what you do to use it because Wikipedia is not a guide, it is an encyclopedia. Another issue that there is with the article is Open source NGO was created by you, which brings about conflict of interest issues which means that the article is going to be under further scrutiny because of that. Anyway I hope this helps you get started, if you have any questions, please ask on my talk page.--kelapstick (talk) 00:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
