Welcome!

Hello, Richardkahn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Richardkahn/HepatitisBFoundation
A tag has been placed on User:Richardkahn/HepatitisBFoundation, 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. 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 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. 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.

Regarding User talk:Richardkahn/HepatitisBFoundation
Hello! I noticed you'd posted a request regarding this page. Unfortunately, as the content was promotional, it was required to be deleted under criterion G11 of our speedy deletion criteria. Wikipedia maintains a strictly neutral point of view, and may not be used for the promotion of any person, entity, or cause, no matter how noble. We also strongly discourage editors from writing articles about people or entities with which they are closely affiliated.

However, if you have experience regarding hepatitis B and would like to contribute to that area, there are many such articles on Wikipedia! Your neutrally-worded and well-referenced contributions to any such areas would be much appreciated. If you do feel that the organization passes our notability guidelines by being covered extensively in reliable third-party sources, you may also wish to provide those sources to another editor for help determining if an article is appropriate and writing it if so. If such sources do not exist, an article on the organization would not be appropriate at this time.

Hope that helps to clear things up! If you have any questions, you're welcome to ask me, or for faster assistance, make a request for editor assistance. Seraphimblade Talk to me 16:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
