Speedy deletion nomination of Canadian arab institute

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Canadian arab institute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Epicgenius (talk) 17:13, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but in this recent edit you removed a speedy deletion tag from Canadian Arab Institute, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.  —Josh3580talk/hist 18:15, 24 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, such as you did in the article Canadian Arab Institute. Wikipedia is not the Yellow pages. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. Cindy(talk) 06:47, 25 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Canadian Arab Institute

Please note that any content you contribute to Wikipedia must follow our content policies about writing tone, article structure and reliable sourcing. You may not write or post an article that refers to the organization as "we", for example, or which invites the reader to "sign up to our bulletin"; the article is not allowed to serve as an advertisement for the organization. Rather, it must be neutral, and referenced to media coverage in sources that are independent of the organization (e.g. newspaper or magazine coverage, books, TV or radio coverage, etc.), and the overall tone must be that of a third party writing about the organization rather than the organization writing about itself. An article is not allowed to stay on Wikipedia if it does not properly follow our content rules, so the article will continue to get deleted as long as it continues not to follow them. It doesn't mean the organization can't have an article at all, it just means the organization doesn't get to keep that version of the article — but a version which is properly written and sourced can and will be kept instead.
