Pages on the charities and their founders
Thanks for creating pages on Win Win Win Philanthropy, Painting With Purpose and their founders. The articles were nicely laid out and were clearly about a worthy cause. Unfortunately, none of them expalined why the subject matter was notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia. The key criteria for notability is significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. For example, articles in major newspapers about these charities or their founders, which are not paid ads or in any way self-published or self-produced. I couldn't find any with an online search but you might have a better idea where to look then me.

I raise all this because the deletion of the articles might seem a bit discouraging, so I wanted to explain why they have been removed and what needs doing in any future articles. Good luck with your future cotnributions and if I can help in any way let me know. Euryalus (talk) 05:05, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Painting With Purpose
A tag has been placed on Painting With Purpose, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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.

Hello
I could try to explain why your article was deleted, but I am not the best at explaining it. StarM is very good at this. Please read that page, slowly, and hopefully you will understand. I will say this, when someone comes and joins Wikipedia and the first thing they do is write an article, it seems like 99% of the time, it gets deleted. It is frustrating for them, but it is usually because they don't fully understand what Wikipedia is and is not. Please read that link I gave you, and if you are interested in learning how to contribute here and writing articles eventually, I will be glad to offer what help I can.
