Notability of Borderless world

A tag has been placed on Borderless world, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) 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 the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Realkyhick 05:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicate Image:Headersepia.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Headersepia.jpg, by DMacks (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Headersepia.jpg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Headersepia.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Image:Headersepia.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 06:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (http://www.borderlessworld.org/aboutorgoverview.php in this case) or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Borderless World Volunteers with a link to where we can find that note;
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Borderless World Volunteers with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Borderless World Volunteers saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Borderless World Volunteers

A tag has been placed on Borderless World Volunteers, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — ERcheck (talk) 23:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has notability guidelines for inclusion of organizations. Though Borderless World Volunteers may be a worthwhile endeavor, it is not of the level of Oxfam. — ERcheck (talk) 00:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to Wikipedia notability guidelines, let me direct you to a a couple of additional pages for your reference:

On verifiability/reliable sources: Including a link to an organization's website is acceptable, but reliable third party sources are needed — especially with respect to a charity. The information on the organization's website is limited — it provides not information that can be independently verified about the authenticity of the charity; there is no information about people associated with the organization/board of directors, etc.
Guidelines on conflict of interest: If you are associated with the organization, I suggest that you read this guideline to determine whether or not you have a "conflict of interest", and how to address it.

If after reading the information on notability, verifability, conflict of interest, and copyrights, you still feel that the organization should have a Wikipedia entry, please remember that if it sounds promotional, it may again be deleted again. WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox — Wikipedia is not for promotion or advertising.

I hope these tips help. — ERcheck (talk) 04:10, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
