Veridian credit union
A tag has been placed on Veridian credit union, 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 Veridian credit union 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 independent 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. Schuy m 1 ( talk ) 01:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

 * OK, welcome to the learning experience. Wikipedia is one of the world's most frequently visited websites; oddly enough, our language and procedures are not exactly the simplest. For starters, the article is repeatedly named incorrectly; it should be capitalized, just as the CU's name is. Next: you persist in using advertising language: "It's easy to see" whatever; "strives to do this or that or the other thing"; etc. This is a reference work, not a pamphlet urging somebody to join the C.U. Read our guidelines on neutral point of view and attempting to advertise in Wikipedia. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  02:17, 18 September 2008 (UTC) member of several CUs himself

May I re-edit the article?? Joshuamccabe (talk) 02:26, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Veridian Credit Union
A tag has been placed on Veridian Credit Union requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Schuy m 1 ( talk ) 02:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Your sandbox(es)
When working on a project like your article, that may get tagged and deleted before you can get it up to speed, you might consider creating (or copy/pasting) it HERE which is a workspace on Wiki where you can bring articles into line, ask for advice, and have it available for your professor's review, before moving it to the main pages. Truth told, the current Veridian Credit Union is now something that others are working on as well. Once it hits the encyclopedia it is fair game.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:03, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
