Tutoring Beyond Borders
Hi, thanks for message. Following its nomination by another editor, I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although you gave some references, one was a Yahoo search page and the next was a page which didn't mention your charity. Note that blogs, social media, pages reporting what you say about yourself and websites of unknown provenance or affiliated to you may not be acceptable.
 * On the facts as presented I'm unsure why this charity is notable as defined above anyway. There are no paid staff, and no indication of how the work is funded or what expenditure is incurred
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include:  Its mission is to promote education and volunteerism in all communities it reaches... TBB is known for recruiting volunteer tutors from all walks of life... The uniqueness of TBB... TBB is the first co-op employer to have obtained...&mdash; and that's just from the lead
 * "Philosophy & Vision" whole section is spam irrelevant to the notability of the charity


 * Most of our co-op students &mdash;not exactly objective....
 * "Awards & Nominations " spammy if you are not reporting any criticisms, unsourced and probably better as text
 * The Executive Team positions are currently being held by the following individuals&mdash; The table following this is probably not a good idea. The people are not notable in themselves and it will soon become out of date. If you really want this,put ''as of 2015" instead of "currently"
 * I'm part of the community that this charity works in&mdash;You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * The whole purpose of the article was to inform people of the inner workings of this charity and the services it provides.&mdash; this is an encyclopaedia, not free advertising or social media

I'm prepared to restore this in a user subpage for you to improve if you want me to, just let me know Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:23, 28 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Your comment led me to assume that you were involved in the creation, but that's not forbidden anyway, it's just that we discourage people writing autobiographies or articles about organisations they are involved with because it's difficult for them to be objective. Anyway, the rest of my comments above should guide you when you recreate. I'll be happy to comment when you are ready or if you have any queries let me know. It's possible that you might find an earlier revision is a better starting point, but you can access the history so that's your call.
