User talk:Virlanie

Hello. I did not delete Virlanie Foundation. It was deleted by administrator. That being said, I fully endorse the deletion. The article definitely read like a promo-piece. I have no doubt that this NGO is doing good work but it was designed to look more like a "who we are" page than like an encyclopedia article. Given your username, I suppose you work for this NGO which raises strong concerns of conflict of interest. The key issue here is whether the article meets our guideline for generally accepted articles for organizations and whether there exists sufficient third-party coverage of the organization to write an article whose content can be properly attributed to a published, reliable source. Maybe that coverage exists (frankly I have no idea) but in any case, the article needs to demonstrate this or it will get deleted. Let me know if you have any questions.
