Welcome!

Hello, RaffyO, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Community development credit union, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Community development credit union
A tag has been placed on Community development credit union requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 hangon 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.

Note on deleted article
While you may be telling the truth regarding the copyrighted material, the material is, as one would expect from an organization's own website, promotional toward it. We strictly disallow any type of promotional material on Wikipedia, as all content is required to be strictly neutral. Also, we strongly discourage editors from editing or creating articles about people or institutions with which they are closely affiliated. Please instead suggest reliable sources for any such article, and leave the decision on whether and what to write to an editor who does not also have the job of promoting the institution.

 * Hello Serphimblade, While I understand your position on not wanting promotional material on wikipedia, the majority of the content I added was factual definitions of cdcus. I do work for an organization that supports these types of instituions, but this page was not about my organization specifically. I had encouraged other knowledgable individuals in the cdcu field to edit here prior to its deletion. This is my first article on wikipedia, and it is discouraging to see that I did not receive time to continue to build out the page. It can not be expected that a page would be complete after only a couple of hours of being live on the site. I purposely used the hang on template to let others know that. If you could please restore the deletion, or at least replace it on this talk page, I would appreciate it. I am in the process of reading through wikipedia's many policy pages so I an avoid future complications. Thank you, RaffyO (talk) 05:18, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
