Speedy deletion nomination of Youth With A Mission Santa Fe


A tag has been placed on Youth With A Mission Santa Fe 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 credibly 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. ERK talk 06:50, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

Your changes to your biography
You've removed the source for the existing material and added a whole load of unsourced material. Wikipedia requires that articles about living people are backed up by reliable sources which can be verified. For this reason I'm about to revert the changes you've made. If you can provide references to source material you're welcome to re-add the material.

Please take the time to read the guidance given in the welcome message on this page. for (talk)  07:08, 18 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Please stop adding to your edit summaries. That's not where references belong, and (in the nicest possible way) you're not a reliable source. for (talk)  07:14, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
