This a a page talking about a Non Profit. I have read the vandelism page FAQ and do not see how this is vandelism. If the page is deleted I will contact for a valid reason why a new page was deleted.

Also, I have looked at a nonsense page definition: Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes of any sort; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases.

I would like to know how my page does this.

A tag has been placed on Fairfax CASA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. It is not vandalism; there was probably a mistake by the original nominating editor, a reliable worker in the past.

Heading just added on why it is notable.

A Question

How is Fairfax CASA any different from all the other CASAs out there? ^demon^{[omg plz]} 18:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Please don't put the "hangon" tag here, it should be on the article. Thanks. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 18:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Each local branch has differences in guidelines, judges, and geographical differences that result in a different population of kids. We have a different plan on helping children than any other CASA branch. We follow National CASA regulations but each distincy CASA has different features.

All of this will be adressed when I finish the aticle. I am assuming I should have written the article out first and then posted it.

Also, of the may counties and local CASA's in northen VA, Fairfax CASA received an award.

Nothing you have added to this article establishes any kind of planet-wide notability; I expect the article will be deleted soon. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Well you sure are helpful.

I do try to be helpful; but sometimes the news is bad. I'm sorry, but not every local group like this can get an article of its own. In reference to your other question, adding a link to this chapter onto the main CASA article would be inappropriate. One of the many things that Wikipedia is not, is a directory of local groups, affiliates, etc. We leave that kind of thing to the organization's own website. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

"Job"? Not really; I'm a volunteer, like all of us. I hope this doesn't put you off working on Wikipedia altogether. We need some folks with experience in these matters to look over articles. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:15, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
