Speedy deletion nomination of South and West Africa Missions (SWAM)

A tag has been placed on South and West Africa Missions (SWAM) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 article (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. Lounus (talk) 20:28, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I've declined the speedy deletion, as there is an assertion of notability. If there are news articles that discuss the charity, though, you're going to want to add them - we need independent, reliable sources to document what SWAM is and why it is important or notable. The missions' website is of value, but by definition cannot be an independent source. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 14:10, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of South and West Africa Missions

The article South and West Africa Missions has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG, a google search shows no press coverage

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
