I tried creating a wikipedia page last year for the charity I work for - the AKU Society. The page was deleted as wikipedia mods thought there wasn't sufficient notability for the page to exist. At the end of last year, the charity featured in several national newspapers and on BBC radio - which I think should increase our notability. These include: the BBC, the Daily Mail , the Telegraph and the Mirror. I'm not sure about the etiquette of reopening deleted pages - should I just go ahead and do it? Or will that mean an automatic deletion? The article for deletion page is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_AKU_Society


 * If you just re-create it, it may well be deleted. The best thing to do is, make an improved draft page with your references. To do that, click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title. That will make a draft page for you to work in.


 * When it is ready, approach user, the administrator who closed the deletion discussion, give them a link to your new draft, and ask them for permission to move it to the main encyclopedia, if they agree that you have overcome the previous reasons for deletion . If they do not agree, you can appeal at WP:Deletion review.


 * As you work for the charity you have, from Wikipedia's poin of view, a WP:Conflict of interest in writing about it. Read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. You will see that you should not edit about it directly, but making a draft to propose is OK. Take care not to write in a promotional tone - if you seem to be "selling" the organization, the article will not be accepted. You are not writing for the organization, you are writing for Wikipedia about it.


 * Check out WP:Notability, WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause. Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:
