Hey there

Just a note: It's not that we're anti-positive-change or anything; Wikipedia just so happens to be an encyclopedia, and everything it contains should already have made an impact, as such. We judge this through the number of reliable sources that can be found about the subject (and in the case of, say, sportspeople, by what kind of league they play in, etc). Quick info here about sourcing. More about notability here; any more questions, my talk page is always open. (Oh, and calling the entity "Wikipedia" ignorant may not be useful in getting "Wikipedia" to side with you, so to speak.) sonia♫ 05:40, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Envision Manifesto

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 The Envision Manifesto, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous 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 the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:46, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
