Hi Naj, sorry about delay, but I've only just noticed your message. It's normal to add messages at the bottom of a talk page, so I don't normally look at the top. I deleted your article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines. Although your reference probably verifies the factual content, there is no assertion of why this list is notable enough to have an encyclopaedia article. It's just a list of names of people, difficult to see why it's more notable than, say, a list of teachers in a school, or a list of solicitors in London.

Wikipedia is not a trade directory, so a list of practitioners is not justified unless you can meet the criteria above. The same problems occur with the version you are working on in userspace. Hope this helps Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:47, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:44, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
