National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies
A tag has been placed on National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. LittleOldMe (talk) 14:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * In reply to your query; the text you are adding was copied from the NAMIC website, which has a clear copyright label so cannot be published on Wikipedia. The text would be allowed if the NAMIC website released the text under the GNU Free Documentation License instead; see WP:COPYVIO.
 * Please note that editors are discouraged from writing about organizations they are directly involved with, due to our neutral point of view policy. If you are the director of communications for the group, your contribution might be seen as a conflict of interest. Articles on organizations also need to say why the group is important to avoid being speedily deleted. Finally, in the long term, articles also need to cite sources that are independent and reliable for our WP:Verifiability policy and WP:Notability, but that's something that can be addressed later.
 * My advise is to wait for someone not associated with the organization to write about it, which will happen if the NAMIC is notable enough. If you insist on writing about it yourself, write as neutrally as you can, citing independent sources, without copying text from the official website. 07:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
