The article A Spring of Hope has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted again -- charities are not automatically notable. See WP:ORG and WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for your note. Per WP:ORG, an organization needs to be recognized as notable by reliable independent sources. I'm not persuaded that the Miami Herald article is anything more than a local-interest story; even so, it's only one source. The student-edited webpaper isn't a reliable source, and the award isn't a direct discussion of the charity. More importantly, you shouldn't be writing about an organization of which you're the founder and principal. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Regardless, per your request, I've copied the deleted content to your userspace at User:Brittyoung/A Spring of Hope. If the organization gets recognized by more sources per WP:ORG and WP:V, let me know and I'll look at the article again. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
