Hello, I deleted the page because it was promotional work. Wikipedia aims to be an encyclopedia, not a directory of businesses, and your creation of the page for project you're associated with is considered promotional rather than encyclopedic. Writing about projects one is associated with, oneself, or one's employer are generally considered to be a bad idea on Wikipedia for a number of reasons. Take care. --Improv 08:02, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I understand that the group is not a business, but promotional intent is not limited solely to business interests. It is generally seen as inappropriate for people to edit articles that they have personal or membership ties to. As for Alpha Kappa Alpha, I cannot comment on it particularly, not having been to that article. Wikipedia tends to have problems corrected on a per-case basis, rather than in a consistent manner. This can be frustrating sometimes (even for long-term members such as myself), but the existence of a particular page should not be seen as precedent for another page's existence -- it may be that Alpha Kappa Alpha is more noteworthy, it may be that its page was created in a non-promo way, or it may be that the article on it should not exist. I would like to let you know that while my inclinations on this matter have not changed, there is a way for you to challenge my decision -- there's a process called Deletion Review that exists to determine the appropriateness of article deletions. I won't be offended in any way if you want to bring it up there, and if you would like help with the process of putting it up for review, I can even help you with that. Take care. --Improv 15:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
