Speedy deletion of "PAPA People Assisting Parents Association"
A page you created, PAPA People Assisting Parents Association, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thanks. PeterCantropus (talk) 08:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself.  If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a  tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 13:03, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of PAPA People Assisting Parents Association
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article PAPA People Assisting Parents Association, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

PAPA People Assisting Parents Association
I have speedy deleted the article (the prod was invalid because you removed the speedy tag in the first instance, so that still stood). You need to make sure you assert a level of notability into any article, and include citations (and no original research is allowed). Cheers, Ian ¹³  /t  15:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Email
Your article was deleted under Criteria_for_speedy_deletion, for not giving an indication why the subject might be notable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. A copy of the deleted article is still held, so you are welcome to a copy of it if you wish so you can bring it to the required standards before it is reincluded (see WP:NEW).

What concerns me more is that you are actually PAPA, and therefore under a conflict of interest. Because of this I would strongly recommend you do not edit or create an article about PAPA, because if it is important enough for inclusion, someone else will add it. Especially concerning is your comment that you are trying to "increase [...] [y]our public exposure", so clearly you are acting with your aims in mind. Original research is banned anyway, so you can't add original thought, instead sources must be cited (the COI makes this even more important).

Additionally, your wording indicates your account may be used by several people (I am not implying it is, just telling you relevant policy in case), role accounts (accounts used by multiple people) are generally disallowed, and likely to be banned.

I hope this helps. Ian ¹³ /t  18:46, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
