Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Partnership broker. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Broker. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Broker. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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.

Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:54, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Partnership brokering for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Partnership brokering is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Partnership brokering until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

 * You asked me via email what could be done to improve the article. My opinion is not necessarily that of any other editor.  However, I nominated the article for deletion because I had two concerns.  The first, and more fundamental, is that I do not see the concept as notable in the sense of having been given third-party coverage by independent sources.  I did not find that independent sources, such as business magazines, discuss the concept in detail.  The second is that the article has a promotional tone, not for any particular company, but for a way of doing business.  Wikipedia should not be promoting a particular way of doing business, but discussing ways of doing business (and other subjects) neutrally.  The first concern can only be addressed by finding third-party sources that have written about the concept neutrally.  I looked.  I didn't find them.  The second concern will require a significant rewrite of the article to change its tone.  So, to improve the article, find the third-party sources that write about partnership brokering, if you can find them, and change the tone of the article.  The second is only necessary or appropriate if the first can be done.  I think that this should answer your questions.  Robert McClenon (talk) 02:42, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the additional guidance Robert McClenon. Re NOTABILITY: The partnership brokering paradigm is a pioneering new concept, so there will not yet be major endorsements e.g. by business magazines. However, the term partnership broking or partnership broker has been noted and referred to in other relevant sources such as: The International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF), a UK based NGO, publishing ‘The Brokering Guidebook: Navigating Effective Sustainable Development Partnerships’; UN System Staff College and IBLF publication ‘The Guiding Hand: Brokering Partnerships for Sustainable Development’; UN Industrial Development Organisation publication ‘UNIDO Business Partnerships for Industrial Development’; Publications from the Donor Committee for Enterprise Development ‘Engaging with private sector through multi-stakeholder platforms’ and ‘How donors can make the transition to strategic private sector engagement’. Re NEUTRAL TONE: Working on improving the tone of the article. Please watch the space for edits.PBA18 (talk) 10:50, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
