Ritchie-dunham
Howdy and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you got a test message from Tawkerbot a few minutes ago. I took the liberty of removing it, since it seemed to have been entered in error. I noticed that you blanked the page you wrote, Ritchie-dunham. I took this to mean that you wanted the page deleted, and have nominated it for such. Feel free to remove it if that was not your intention. Also, if I can help with anything, please write a note on the bottom of my talk page. Thanks again for all your work on Wikipedia. --TeaDrinker 08:46, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Notability
Please see Notability. Has the organization been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself? Your sources have only been to the organization's site itself, and a Google search came up with less than 100 hits that were not to Wikipedia and its mirrors. If you can provide those reliable sources, I'll undelete. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:04, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The sources have to be independent of the subject. That would mean major newspapers, books by known journalists, things like that. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

''Since the things that were written by externally validated sources, such as academic journals and publishing companies, were written about the authors (members of the Institute) and their work (under the auspices of the Institute), but not directly about the Institute for Strategic Clarity, then the Institute does not merit a verifiable entry in Wikipedia. Is this understanding correct? - I think so long as the things which were written made it clear that they were discussing these people as'' members of the institute, and the journals are not some fly-by-night publication but well-recognized, then they could be used as references, but you would need ISBNs or point to a particular edition.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Jritchiedunham! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is an  Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:
