Speedy deletion nomination of Skeptics Canada

A tag has been placed on Skeptics Canada 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Dr.K. logos 01:22, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Skeptics Canada

I note that this page is up for speedy deletion, I'm a little familiar with the organization, and thought I'd offer to lend you a helping hand, if you think you could use one. My assessment is that the page is up for deletion because it doesn't contain any reliable sources; arm's-length, third-party expert sources that assert the notability of the subject in a verifiable way. That would be things like articles about the organization in magazines and newspapers. In addition, although I am slightly familiar with the situation with respect to York University and the Chiropractic College, I looked and found that there is no evidence in Wikipedia articles about those organizations that backs up your assertion of Skeptics Canada's involvement in that situation. If you could find specific reliable sources to back up that assertion, that would be very useful in bolstering the group's notability; as well, it would be useful to insert material into the articles about the two organizations that links them to your group's article, etc. Note that, if the article is "speedy deleted" -- which is likely to happen in the very near future -- I can assist you by retrieving the deleted content and placing it into what we call a "sandbox" page where you can work on it to add the kinds of reliable sources I've mentioned. Don't hesitate to leave me a note by clicking on the word "talk" after my signature if I can be of any assistance to you. Accounting4Taste:talk 16:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
