Speedy deletion nomination of National Dive League


A tag has been placed on National Dive League 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

World Divers
I understand that you are keen to see "World Divers" recognised as a scuba agency, but the list article List of diver certification organizations has a note that you see when you edit it: When you check Talk:List of diver certification organizations, you find that six criteria were suggested, any one of which would justify inclusion of an agency on the list. Unfortunately, your say-so that World Divers is "Compliant with WRSTC/ISO minimum standards" isn't one of them. We require an independent, published source that recognises an agency – CMAS, EUF, or WRSTC are the usual choices if you examine the list. I hope you now understand why I reverted your edits. --RexxS (talk) 12:43, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Many scuba organizations organization listed in the divers organization are not associated with WRSTC, EUF or CMAs but are listed there as agency. Why WORLD DIVERS cannot be listed there? Standards are listed on the www.istc.info, is that not sufficient? We have over 500 members diver and pro!
 * (1) All of the organisations on the list meet the criteria. Recognition by WRSTC, EUF or CMAS is the simplest way of meeting them. Why isn't WORLD DIVERS recognised by any of those?
 * (2) The self-published standards at www.istc.info are not sufficient. You should read WP:SPS if you don't understand why.
 * (3) In the UK, we have dive clubs with more than 500 members, so I wouldn't think that a "certifying agency" that small is likely to meet the agreed standards for inclusion on the list. --RexxS (talk) 22:45, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

ISTC and World Divers
Hi Rebeaulac,

I have undone your recent edits in respect to the two organisations listed above in the subject line because these entries do not satisfy the requirements described in the following link - Talk:List of diver certification organizations. I have noticed that the existence of this link was pointed out to you in 2017.

Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 03:36, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, can you tell me what is required to "satisfy" your requirements? Yep, the previous agency I was working was NDL SEA (National Dive League) as Director South East Asia until end of 2015. I would really appreciate that our agency will be listed soon.
 * Not my requirements, but what has been agreed by editors of the article. Did you read any of what I wrote above? Did you understand the six criteria that I pointed you to? This is an encyclopedia and we expect encyclopedic content. In the case of a list of recognised certifying agencies, we require them to be recognised by one of the major international umbrella organisations. If you don't understand what CMAS, EUF, or WRSTC are, I suggest you need to do some research before editing any further. --RexxS (talk) 22:38, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
