User talk:LaAmistadPeachtree

The article LaAmistad has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:11, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of LaAmistad


A tag has been placed on LaAmistad 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 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. PTJoshua (talk) 23:00, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you.

Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 23:20, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, even the good work that seems to be being done does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards as the article stands. Look at WP:RS for the type of references you need to show the notability WP:GNG that is required. When you can get some refs together, try again - putting the new article on a subpage of your userspace. (If you don't know what I mean, ask...) Also, the article is worded a bit like an advert. Remember this is an encyclopaedia. It is for recording not promoting. Having said all that, if I was in your area I'd probably be easily persuaded to join in (having explained much school work in my time - in a way that might horrify school inspectors but which brought boring subjects to life...). Good luck with it - it's nice to see a church getting down to something more immediately practical than saving souls - which can be a side effect anyway. Peridon (talk) 23:50, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
