Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:CORP and WP:SPAM. Article was created by an Sockpuppet WP:SPA account with no other edits other than related to United Prosperity. This is one Part of a larger campaign of Spamming and promotion on Wikipedia.Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam. Self-promotion and product placement are WP:NOT the routes to having an encyclopaedia article. Hu12 (talk) 17:11, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I have edited the page to try to bring it to a neutral POV - I would appreciate any feedback on my efforts so far. On the grounds of notability - I have placed a comment on the articles talk page. I agree product placement and self promotion is not acceptable and should be flagged and dealt with but I think there is a place for this page if Wikipedia standards are followed.

 * WP:POV is not the issue, WP:NOTABILITY, WP:CORP and WP:SPAM Are. This is one Part of a larger UnitedProsperity spam campaign on Wikipedia. Use of multiple WP:SOCK acounts are involved see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam.--Hu12 (talk) 19:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for re-listing this page. I have edited a few articles but this sort of discussion is new for me and I am still learning.

The first issue regarding a possible deletion is notability - if the topic is not notable. it does not belong here at all. I have added comments on the talk page showing the organisation has been the topic of at least one independent article and I will leave it to others to decide if this meets the standard. If this is not enough, I would appreciate some guidelines as what is required before the standard is reached.

The other issues -listed as spam and sockpuppets - are serious but are in the past and can not be changed. If the article is noteworthy and can be put into a state which meets Wikipedia standards, I would not like to see the topic denied from Wikipedia on these grounds. If attempts are made again to self-promote, this could be dealt with by reverts and comments on editor talk pages,  Herne nz (talk) 09:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
