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 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.

A tag has been placed on Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Deletion nomination of article

Hello, Kelsey. I see that you are making a good faith attempt to write an article, but are not used to the ways of Wikipedia. In fact, that is why I just nominated the article for deletion, and gave you a warning: if I had thought you were really here to write a spam article then I would have just deleted it. I will be back in a minute with some advice, but first I will move the article to a page in your user space, to give you a chance to work on it. That will not guarantee that the article will survive, but it will remove the risk of speedy deletion at any moment, and give you time to work on it.

OK, I have moved Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation to User:Kelsey pitt/Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation. You can work on it there, and if and when it is suitable as an article then it can be moved back. I am also giving you a welcome message which contains links to various pages that may be helpful. Don't try to read and learn everything in all of the linked pages before you do any more editing: there is far too much for that. However, do look around and read what seems most useful. I think that the following are perhaps the most relevant points at the moment.

To qualify as the subject of a Wikipedia article, a topic has to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. There are rather a lot of these guidelines (in fact in my opinion Wikipedia has far too many guidelines and policies, making things far too confusing for newcomers) but the ones you need to know about are the general notability guideline and the guideline for organisations. Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations can be helpful too. It is not an official guideline, but an attempt by various users to collect together some of the relevant points to help new users. I think it may be worth looking at first, before the guidelines.
I actually don't know whether the Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation satisfies the guidelines or not. If it does, then the guideline on reliable sources will show you what sort of evidence you need to show that it does. On the other hand, if the subject does not satisfy the notability guidelines then my advice is to accept the fact and give up. I'm sorry to be so discouraging, but I have all too often seen new editors putting a lot of time and effort into desperately trying to have an article kept that was never going to succeed. It is quite disheartening to see someone who started out keen to contribute to Wikipedia, waste a lot of time, become more and more frustrated, and eventually leave in disgust. By all means, look into the matter, see if there is suitable evidence of notability, and if so then go ahead with the article. However, it is a question of deciding whether it is notable or not before you put more work in.
Wikipedia's inclusion criteria are mainly about whether a subject has received significant coverage, not on how good or worthwhile a cause it is. I fully understand that you think an organisation that helped your father is worth recognition, but that consideration will carry no weight when it comes to deciding whether the article should be deleted. You can look at Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause if you like.
In my experience, writing an article is not the best way to start editing Wikipedia. We all make mistakes, and most of us find when we start that we come up against all sorts of Wikipedia policies and accepted standards that we had no reason to expect. Editors who, like you, jump straight into writing a brand new article, often find that, no matter how hard they try, everything they do gets opposed, reverted, or deleted. Much better is to start by making small improvements to existing articles. That way, the mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have lost much time and effort on them. After a while you will have learnt enough about how Wikipedia works to do successfully something more ambitious. Whether this slow and gentle approach will suit you or not I can't say. If your only interest in editing here is to write the one article you have planned, then you may or may not be willing to spend time making little edits to other articles first. However, if you are willing to use that approach then I recommend it, and certainly if you are interested in becoming a contributor more generally, rather than just writing the one article, then I am convinced that is the best way to get involved.

Finally, please do feel welcome to approach me on my talk page again if you have other questions. I may not have much time to answer in the next couple of days, but I will try to answer when I can. JamesBWatson (talk) 17:11, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
