Welcome!
Hello, Buckybc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as American Youth Policy Forum, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article.

The article American Youth Policy Forum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello Wikipedia! After reading the policies, I realize I may not have enough information to create a page. I'm not sure the proper protocol on deletion, and was wondering if someone could tell me how exactly I would go about deleting this page. Thanks for the help!
- As you are the creator and only editor, you can add {{db-author}} (include the curly brackets) to the top of the article. That will add a request for deletion and an administrator will clear things up within a few hours. Things would be more complicated if there were other contributors. --GraemeL (talk) 18:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
