Proposed deletion of Lion’s Heart

The article Lion’s Heart has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Promotional article, basically.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

NPOV - Neutral Point of View

Absolutelyang - In response to the proposal to delete, the article needs to use much more neutral language. As an example, here are some paragraphs of yours:

Lion’s Heart is a teen-based volunteer program headquartered in California. The organization has several chapters in other states, such as Colorado, Georgia, New York, Wisconsin, Texas, and Connecticut, but is growing all the time. It was founded in 2004 as a non-profit, non-fundraising group designed to “serve the community in meaningful and fun ways.”

Since it was founded by Terry Corwin, Lion’s Heart has enrolled approximately 3,500 Members as of 2014. The organization has grown steadily and offers teenagers the opportunity to do community service without fundraising or other requirements. The organization has enrolled teens who are in 6th through 12th grades. As of July 2014, the members have volunteered over 250,000 hours of community service since the organization was founded ten year prior.

Lion’s Heart has become noted in California due to their presence among volunteer groups.[1] Often, families move to a different area and desire to start a new chapter in their new location.

And here is what I would substitute as more neutral:

Lion’s Heart is a teen-based volunteer program headquartered in California. The organization has several chapters in other states, such as Colorado, Georgia, New York, Wisconsin, Texas, and Connecticut. It was founded in 2004 as a non-profit, non-fundraising group designed to “serve the community in meaningful and fun ways.” (As this is a quote, it needs a citation)

As of 2014, Lion’s Heart has approximately 3,500 members. The organization offers teenagers the opportunity to do community service without fundraising or other requirements. The members are teens who are in 6th through 12th grades. As of July 2014, the members have volunteered over 250,000 hours of community service since its inception. (This is a fact - it needs a citation)

Lion’s Heart has become noted in California due to their presence among volunteer groups.[1] Often, families move to a different area and desire to start a new chapter in their new location. (This definitely needs a citation! You have to find an article in a magazine or newspaper that says this.) LaMona (talk) 01:10, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Eric Dubin (February 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Missvain was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Eric Dubin and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Lions Heart Community Service Logo.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Lions Heart Community Service Logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
