Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Cell Life Church
[edit]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 Draft:Cell Life Church, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Bradv🍁 05:07, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
Bradv I tried going to the page to contest the deletion but it was already gone. This was not spam or advertising. We copied the format and style of other international organizations like ours. We have been asked by people why information about our network of churches is not listed on Wikipedia like other large international church organizations. We have official plants in 4 countries. After much consideration and seeing others like ours are included on Wikipedia, we decided to create the article on Wikipedia. There are churches linked to from the existing Cell_church page that give similar information, but are different than ours. We wanted to give an example of one of the cited types of cell church organization. We would like this to be reconsidered. BrianEConklin (talk) 12:24, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
