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. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Eeekster (talk) 02:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Books for Brains
A tag has been placed on Books for Brains, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.  Chzz  ►  03:42, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The International Student Senate


A tag has been placed on The International Student Senate requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. R'n'B (call me Russ) 19:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The International Student Senate


The article The International Student Senate has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article asserts notability in context but I can't find any evidence (in a Google search, at least) of it actually existing. I've tried searching by the organization's name as well as its founder's name (Gert Van Mol). The founder certainly appears to be a real person but, again, no mention of this organization is to be found anywhere.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ bomb  05:20, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Future Leadership Institute


A tag has been placed on The Future Leadership Institute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cindamuse (talk) 05:58, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

International student senate
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of International student senate, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wikibin.org/articles/the-international-student-senate.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:47, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * As reviewing administrator, I see you have claimed that both articles were entered simultaneously. Nonetheless, both articles are totally promotional, and therefore while thjis may be acceptable to wikibin, this are not acceptable to Wikipedia. I have accordingly deleted the article, just as the many previous tries have been deleted.  I see you have repeatedly been entering promotional articles on this and related organizations . This must stop. See the formal warning below.    DGG ( talk ) 00:39, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * And incidentally, my only edits to the page were to move the title and to tag it as being uncategorized. I was working on a tagging batch, so I did not review the article's content in enough depth to get involved in an extended discussion about it. Especially given that the administrator involved is DGG; I'm typically much stricter in how I interpret our notability rules than he is, so if he thinks a page is deletable then it has a snowball's chance in hell of surpassing my standards.

Hello Peter Vonke. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * 1) Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * 2) Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 3) Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 4) Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Jasper Deng (talk) 00:01, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear Jasper Deng, Thank you very much for your explanatory note, the first note that showed constructive criticism, even help and support. The notes of DGG and Bearcat are of such character I now understand why Wikipedians have such a bad name, which is really unfortunate as I thought the whole purpose was to build a worldwide encyclopedia together. I might have made mistakes in an honest attempt to ad content to the WP project, but seen from the reactions it might be better to turn away from all of it. As an entree such as the International Student Senate doesn't have a place on WP so be it. I guess that is the difference between the live world where people build and create and a virtual WP-world where courtesy and diplomacy seems to have lost all meaning. But if it takes that kind of attitude to build a good encyclopedia, we'll accept it. Peter Vonke (talk) 13:14, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a lot of rules, I agree. Unfortunately those who do not abide by our rules are unable to edit here. It's hard.Jasper Deng (talk) 00:35, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
