A tag has been placed on Phone Sling, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does 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 assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Fan-1967 05:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Southeast Asia Resource Action Center
[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 Southeast Asia Resource Action Center requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 21:21, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Deleted page
[edit]I've deleted the page for Southeast Asia Resource Action Center for two reasons: first is that the page was written in a promotional manner. Try to avoid using buzzwords and PR-speak with the article- the sentence " We envision a socially, politically and economically just society for all communities to enjoy for all generations" is especially promotional. Secondly, you didn't show how the organization is notable per WP:ORG. I saw that you had the organization's website as a source, but that is a WP:PRIMARY source and cannot show notability. It shows that the organization exists, but existing is not notability. (WP:ITEXISTS) Notability can only be proven through coverage in independent and reliable sources, such as coverage in a newspaper and the like.
