Wikipedia talk:Deletion review/Log/2009 June 17

Hello,

My name is Jesus Rodriguez and I am the President of a newly formed NON-PROFIT organization called the "Hispanic Commonweal". It is our mission to bring the necessary resources of information of Education, Health care, Faith and Politics to local Hispanic Communities, one family at a time in order to better the lives of those in our community.

To cut to the chase, I think the main issue we are having here is that this person who has brought us to this point seems to think that everyone is some kind of expert in Wikipedia contributing or is otherwise a spammer. I have never contributed anything before to Wiki and therefore am very new to the process. He/She is using terms and "Wiki" language that I am not familiar with. I am quite certain that a person does not have to be a Wiki "insider" to contribute worthy information. This idea that since I am closely involved with the organization that I cannot make the contribution to Wikipedia myself is understandable under normal circumstances but in this particular situation is an outrage and I am sure against the fundamental spirit of this encyclopedic website.

I understand that this is a community of volunteers and the need to weed out a bunch of spammers is constantly necessary. So I am not yet at a point of making this a public issue. I am a very determined Hispanic activist who is merely trying to make known an organization that is for the preservation of Traditional Hispanic Values. I am only wanting to post the facts about the organization. Where it was founded, who founded it and what it's mission statement is. I am also prepared to or have other people make pertinent updates to the page as we continue to move forward.

I hope that something can be worked out here. This idea, from the person who brought us here, that I am "advertising" is another outrage. This is an organization that not only pays no salaries but all the expenses, which has been thousands of dollars, have come out of my own pocket specifically. So I do not see any other reason why I can't be helped in this matter. I am willing, as I told the person, to make the proper adjustments and work on making it a very good "Wiki" page.

I ask for the support of this community to be able to make a page that allows the facts to be shown about our organization. If it is the insinuation for this person that everything in Wiki is established worthy and "notable" then we all know that is just not true.

In closing, I hope that this is not because we are a conservative organization. I have heard rumors about bias here in Wiki, and hope that those are just conspiracy freaks.

Just tell me what I need to do, without assuming that I speak Wiki language.

Thank you,

Jesus Rodriguez, President Hispanic Commonweal Oak Creek, WI

Again, I am not familiar with what you are suggesting, I understand and agree that my contribution does not have to show up right away, but you guys are assuming that even know how to begin this process.

Could someone please speak in layman terms?
