Men's Health and Wellbeing Association

I have deleted the article on Men's Health and Wellbeing Association for three reasons. First of all, it had way too much copyrighted content. Every single edit window says Content that violates any copyright will be deleted. It appears that the vast majority of the text was simply copy and pasted from a couple websites. Second of all, the entire tone of the article was one of promotion or advertising, to such a degree that the entire article would require a fundamental re-write. This is an encyclopedia not a place to copy and paste content from the official website of the organization. Finally, the article failed to establish notability per WP:ORG (and didn't even try to say way the organization was important). If you would like to work on this article again, make sure that you can establish the notability of the organization through citations to multiple, non-trivial media sources that are independent from the organization itself. Make sure the tone is neutral and encyclopedic. Make sure you are using your own words and summarizing, not copy and pasting copyrighted material from websites. I encourage you to please try again, but before you do, I also encourage you to familiarize yourself with how wikipedia works, and what sort of content is OK for new articles, and what isn't. I'm going to post a default welcome message below with a number of helpful links. Please read up, and if you have questions, ask. Good luck.

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!-Andrew c ^[talk] 15:59, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
