Speedy deletion of British citizen foundation

A tag has been placed on British citizen foundation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Peripitus (Talk) 09:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

British Citizen Fondation

Hi, I am new to this and just created a page for a charity which I am involved in called British Citizen foundation, I am aware of why the page has been deleted, however wanted to ask how a promotion of a charity (non profit organisation) can be placed on this site. if at all.

I was going to add content to this page regarding UK poverty and other charites who support this cause, however it has been deleted, therefor can you tell me if it is possible to have a page dedicated to this cause.

regards

Thanks for your message. Because Wikipedia is not a soapbox, advertizements for groups aren't permitted. British citizen foundation was deleted for this reason, and also because it appeared to have been copied from another website.

If you want to recreate the article, you will need to establish how the organization is notable, provide citations from reliable sources to back that up, and write from a neutral point of view. But you really should consider letting someone unconnected write about it. Stifle (talk) 10:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
