Speedy deletion of Whittier Conservancy
A tag has been placed on Whittier Conservancy 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Nuttah (talk) 12:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * The article still needs work. The word usage like "spearheaded" does not give off a neutral point of view.  The article also does not properly assert enough importance, since the lawsuit is a "one event" popularity event.  The sources should point out to more than just that the organization exists.  Also, please remember to add a reference list by adding  to the article as its own Reference section.   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  guestbook  ♦  contribs  10:16, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused as to why people don't think that I explain the significance...I assert that the Conservancy made an impact on the City of Whittier and surrounding environs, home to more than 100,000 people, and back it up with links to articles in the archives of the Whittier Daily News that explore its links to community issues (sorry the reflist didn't show up, I have no idea why that happened). I would classify the Cal Domestic Lawsuit as an event that led to the way Whittier politics have been for the last year (a point I have since expanded on), rather than a "one-time popularity event"...not exactly sure what that is, that kinda makes it sound like a rock concert...even so, that's why it gets a heading rather than a full article. I would note that other Wikipedia pages have links to the Conservancy page. BTW, after making those edits, I posted it as an under construction article, so you can feel free to edit it or discuss it. I guess part of my beef is that if a insignificant sports figure like Coby Karl who played like 10 minutes in the NBA is deemed significant, but a community organization in one of America's 275 largest cities is not. Sorry if I sound a little belligerent, I'm still kinda frustrated that it got axed Purplebackpack89 (talk) 18:42, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
