Repost of CFPA chicago

A tag has been placed on CFPA chicago requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. Kralizec!

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Chicago Film Producers Alliance, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. — Kralizec! (talk) 16:17, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello Joyce. Thank you for the message you left on my talk page [1]. In regards to your statement there, the actual "owner" of the page in question would be the Wikimedia Foundation, as they own the hardware and software that Wikipedia is hosted on. As a guest on their web site, we are all obligated to follow their rules of conduct here. Specifically, the CFPA article does not assert its notability via reliable, third-party, published sources, as in accordance with requirements for organizations and companies. The existing article is essentially the same as the previously deleted CFPA chicago article, which was itself a repost of the original article that was deleted as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chicago Film Producers Alliance. I hope you have a more enjoyable Wikipedia experience than your predecessor Andrew (who had issues trying to follow our rules). Please feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or issues. Thanks, — Kralizec! (talk) 16:35, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Chicago Film Producers Alliance. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. — Kralizec! (talk) 16:45, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines

Hi Guvnur, I saw your statement that you "have a new role as public relations for the organization and as a part of that, wanted to pursue the inclusion of [your] organization in Wikipedia." May I call your attention to a couple of relevant policies and guidelines?

• WP:PROMOTION—Wikipedia is not for self-promotion.
• WP:NOTWEBHOST—Wikipedia is not a web host for your organization.
• WP:NOTDIRECTORY—Wikipedia is not a directory of organizations.
• WP:COI—Wikipedia has guidelines on conflicts of interest.
• WP:NPOV—Wikipedia has policies on neutrality of point of view.
• WP:ORG—Wikipedia has notability requirements for companies that need to be met for inclusion in the encyclopedia.
• WP:RS— Wikipedia has a policy requiring reliable sources that are independent of the subject they are about.

Before trying to recreate the article on your organization, please note that self-promotional content that is referenced by non-independent sources is not permitted, and that to be included an article must demonstrate (by reference to independent reliable sources) the notability of the topic. Regards, Bongomatic 22:29, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

CFPA article moved to user space

I've moved the CFPA article to User:Guvnur/sandbox/Chicago Film Producers Alliance rather than simply deleting it, per Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria. User:MichaelQSchmidt has offered to work with you in building this, if possible, into an article that meets Wikipedia's standards. - Dravecky (talk) 05:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
