Speedy deletion nomination of Growing Emerging Leaders
A tag has been placed on Growing Emerging Leaders 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. 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.

Growing Emerging Leader
I have read your appeal for more time and for help at Talk:Growing Emerging Leaders. Unfortunately there was no indication in the article that the subject might satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria. You told us that the organisation was formed "by a group of youths", and then went on to tell us what the organisation aims to do. However, for Wikipedia's purposes, notability is dependent on having achieved attention in reliable sources independent of the subject, and you gave no indication at all that this was so. The basic idea behind Wikipedia's notability concept is described in the notability guideline. I suggest reading at least the section headed "general notability guideline" to see what is invloved. Also relevant are the notability guideline for organisations and companies and FAQ/Organizations. If the article had given some indication that the organisation might have the right kind of significance it would have been reasonable to leave time for suitable sources to be provided to confirm that fact, but with no indication of such significance, the article qualified for speedy deletion.

 * There is no point re-creating the article talk page to ask questions: a talk page without an article will simply be deleted. What I suggest you do is:
 * Read the WP:FAQ/Organizations
 * Read WP:Notability and WP:Notability (organizations and companies), and consider whether you can really demonstrate notability, which will require showing showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The point is that we don't judge whether a subject is important; we simply ask for evidence that other people, independent of it, have thought it important enough to write about. Be realistic: if the organization is not (yet) notable, you will simply be wasting your time and ours. Note that charitable organizations are not exempt: see Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause.
 * Read WP:Your first article
 * Make a draft in your user space at User:Sooi jin/Growing Emerging Leaders
 * Ask for feedback by posting at WP:Requests for feedback
 * When there is agreement that the article is OK, then move it into the main encyclopedia.
 * That may seem a lot of reading, but it will save you time in the end. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:16, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
