Speedy deletion nomination of Mifsa
Hello Pallet12345,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mifsa for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:21, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for email. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. You gave no references at all.
 * it's all about what the organisation claims to do, mission statements and the like, no real facts other than locations. To show notability you need hard facts such as the number of employees, volunteers, funding or expenditures.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * You didn't even bother to wchange the text to third-person, it's all "we" and "our", no pretence of writing an encyclopaedia article
 * One of unsourced claims presented as fact is: All MIFSA programs and services are delivered with a rehabilitation and recovery approach, utilising the 'lived experience' of mental illness. Working alongside and together with participants, our programs create an environment of hope and recovery, offering social support, meaningful activity and opportunities to learn and build upon existing strengths. All our programs are delivered with our respectful and compassionate approach toward promoting growth, recovery and wellbeing.&mdash; But the whole page is basically spam.
 * Links to social media, not permitted.


 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. that's particularly the case when they are spamlinks.
 * the article was a copyright violation of MIFSA's website. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. MIFSA's page states Copyright © 2015 MIFSA. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.

Your edits indicate that you have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. You must declare it, particularly if you are an employee or are otherwise remunerated directly or indorectly. 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.

We normally restore articles on request, but for legal reasons we do not do so with copyright violations.

If you decide to recreate, please read Your first article Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:11, 25 September 2015 (UTC)


 * FWIW, I looked at the three articles you mentioned. I deleted one as a copyright violation and stuck various improvement tags on a second to give a chance for improvement. The third was promotional in tone, but was well referenced, so I left as is for now Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:25, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
